Sophomore forward Matt Stehle led the Crimson with six rebounds and three steals (both career highs) and had Harvard’s only block. All three steals and the rejection came in a four-minute stretch in the middle of the first half.

Junior guard David Giovacchini added a career- and team-high five assists, while freshman guard Ko Yada chipped in an assist and a steal in the first three minutes of action of his career.

The Crimson did contain forward Ben Sturgill, UNH’s leading scorer entering the game, holding him to eight points on 1-of-5 shooting.

“We put a lot of our efforts, quite honestly, into Sturgill and Bullock, their two best players, during the course of the week and their lines were pretty average for the two of them,” Sullivan said. “Unfortunately, a couple guys snuck up on us.”

Bullock finished with nine points, but Craig Walls poured in 14—six of them consecutively early in the second half—and pulled down eight rebounds for the Wildcats.
