"Two crucial elements to playing Princeton are not giving up early points and not getting down by too much," Sullivan said, "Unfortunately, we couldn't get those things done."
Harvard was also plagued by errant passes and had ten turnovers to Princeton's five in the first half.
Prasse-Freeman, who is 12th in the nation in assists per game, struggled with a six to seven assist-to-turnover ratio.
"Accurate passes and finding good scoring opportunities are essential to establishing our flow through the game," Prasse-Freeman said.
Harvard's "flow" was further interrupted by timely Princeton offensive rebounds.
During one sequence early in the first half, the Tigers offensive rebounding allowed them to keep possession for nearly two minutes.
"Against Princeton, you have to get defensive rebounds or else their slow tempo will make you pay," Sullivan said.
