Rogus and Goffredo led the Crimson with 13 points apiece, while Beatty added eight points and eight rebounds, five off the offensive glass.

Rogus also set the school record for three-pointers in a season with 74.

“He needs no room and no time [to get his shot off], so that’s a tough combination,” Dunphy said.

Two other Harvard players had a chance to reach season benchmarks. Stehle needed 12 rebounds to give him 200 for the campaign, but didn’t pull down any in the first half while playing only nine minutes due to foul trouble and finished with just a pair.

Meanwhile, Norman needed 23 points to average 10 per game for the season but scored just a single bucket in each half, although he did dish out six assists, tying a career high.

Begley paced Penn with a game-high 17 points, hitting five of his nine three-point attempts, and forward Adam Chubb chipped in 10 points and 10 rebounds, but committed six turnovers.

Guard Ibrahim Jaaber added 11 points on 4-5 shooting off the bench for the Quakers.

The loss was Harvard coach Frank Sullivan’s 200th with the Crimson. A win would have been his 142nd at Harvard, tying Floyd Wilson for the school record. The defeat also postpones the Crimson’s quest for its 150th win at Lavietes Pavilion to next season.

Harvard is tentatively scheduled to open the 2004-2005 campaign Nov. 19 at Notre Dame and play its first game at Lavietes four days later against Holy Cross.

The Crimson—which entered the weekend leading the Ivy League in free-throw shooting at 72.5 percent but was hurt by a 13-24 performance Friday night against Princeton—hit just nine of its 19 attempts from the charity stripe.

Harvard finishes the season 0-9 against teams that reached the postseason in 2003.
