Senior forward Dan Clemente was one of the few bright spots for Harvard, giving the Crimson its first points of the game off of free throws and scoring 20 of the team total 47 points.
Sophomore guards Pat Harvey and Elliot Prasse-Freeman each scored eight points, but Prasse-Freeman went 0-6 from behind the arc.
"We played good defense but we couldn't make a basket," said sophomore guard Pat Harvey. "The same thing happened with Princeton; we kept it close defensively."

"We started out well, but they went on a run. They just ran away with it at the end," Harvey said.
Princeton began their conclusive run with two three-point shots, and their defense held the Crimson at a single basket out of 14 attempts to finish it. Clemente led Harvard with 18 points.
Princeton and Penn had been contending with Yale for first place, but the games of this past weekend knocked Yale (10-14, 7-4) into a tie for second place with Brown (13-11, 7-4).
