"We talked about everybody stepping up," Delaney-Smith said. "I expected every-one to step up. The seniors just brought it out tonight."
After Columbia kept the score close for most of the first half, Harvard used a 10-2 run at the end of the period to open 38-26 halftime edge. Egelhoff started things off with a three from the right wing to put Harvard ahead by seven.
Columbia senior guard Rose Jackson then converted a pair of free throws, and the Crimson reeled off the final seven points of the half. Janowski converted a free throw, and Gates followed that with a baseline drive for a nice lay-up. Janowski closed out the scoring with a turnaround in the lane and two free throws 31 seconds later.
The contest became embarrassing for Columbia in the second half as the Lions could get no closer than eight, and that was with 14:59 remaining in the game. During one stretch, the Crimson scored 12 consecutive points, including Barnard's two treys, and led by as many as 22.
