Grancio scored a career-high 26 points in that game and Snowden recorded a double-double with 19 points and 16 rebounds. Hill tallied four assists in that game, moving him into fifth place on the all-time Harvard assist chart.

"Everyone had good moments in the second half," Demian said. "We were on a roll and had home energy. The clock ran out, but we had enough time to beat them."

The victory over Penn guaranteed Harvard its first winning league record since the 1983-84 season. Harvard added two blowout victories over Yale and Brown to cement a robust 10-4 league mark, the team's best since the 1970-71 campaign.

Harvard won 17 games in 1996-97, the second-highest win total in school history since the 1945-46 NCAA tournament team which enjoyed a 19-3 season.

Snowden earned unanimous first-team honors on the 1997 All-Ivy team. He led the league in rebounding (9.7 rpg) and was fourth in scoring (16.4 ppg).

Hill, who led the team in assists, was named to the second team.

Harvard's biggest task for next season will be to replace its graduating seniors--Snowden, Grancio, Demian and swingman David Weaver. The Crimson will need Hill to step into a larger scoring role as well as a strong recruiting class to reach the level it reached this season.
