But it was in overtime where Beam made his mark. He opened the scoring in the extra period with a three-pointer from the left corner giving Harvard a 71-68 lead. After Princeton's Brian Earl tied it up with a trey of his own, Beam answered the call once again, drilling yet another three, giving the Crimson a 74-71 lead that it would never relinquish.
Beam added a free throw later in the period, finishing with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, including 2-of-3 from distance.
Beam's line form the Penn game was very similar as he netted 11 points as well on 4-of-6 from the floor, hitting 3-of-4 from behind the arc.
Clemente's just Dan-dy
Despite not having his best shooting performance against the Quakers, going 8-of-24 from the field, Clemente led the Crimson in scoring with 22 points. He remained the best scoring option for Harvard down the stretch, with his ability to create his own shot.
And like his senior floormates, Clemente came up big down the stretch in the win over Princeton.
Clemente picked up his fourth foul with over 12 minutes remaining in the game, forcing him to the bench. But with his scoring prowess in great demand, he returned to the floor with seven minutes left in regulation.
