M. Basketball Soars Over Mountain Hawks for First Win

Also in the second half, the Crimson received a surprising contribution from sophomore Brian Sigafoos. The tallest person on the team, the 6'11 center came off the bench and drained eight points while accounting for Harvard's two blocks on the evening.

"It was very impressive and positive to see Brian play so well," Sullivan said.

As a testament to the Crimson's offensive balance and contributions from the bench, nine of Harvard's 11 players scored, and ten of 11 saw playing time in the game.

For the Hawks, sophomore guard Matt Logie carried the bulk of the scoring load. The Mercer Island, Wash. native, who played with Prasse-Freeman in high school, netted 15 points but only accounted for one assist Saturday.

In other action on Saturday, the Holy Cross Crusaders, the team which beat Harvard in the Crimson's season opener, defeated a strong UMass team.

"There were a couple of positives for us today," Sullivan said. "First, was realizing that we got beat by a pretty good team in Holy Cross on opening night. Second was getting our first win under our belts."

Harvard will now travel into Boston to face cross-town rival Northeastern tomorrow night. A week later, the Crimson will take on another regional foe--Boston University--in the friendly confines of Lavietes Pavilion.
