Harvard Beats Dartmouth, 75-65, in Up-and-Down Match

Just 2:41 into the second half, the Big Green extended its lead to five, 50-45, off a Brooks jump shot. The Crimson evened the score at 56 with 11:51 to go, but Dartmouth went back up by five with 8:43 to go following a Malik Gill layup and a Brooks free throw.

That’s when Chambers stepped up. The rookie found Saunders for a deep two and then finished an and-one layup against Mitola to even the score at 63.

Following a Brooks travel, Saunders attacked the basket for two to give the Crimson the lead. Mitola turned it over on the other end, and Chambers pushed Harvard’s lead to four with a floater as the shot clock expired.

The Crimson’s lead grew from there, as Saunders stuck another layup and Chambers hit two free throws and then found Moundou-Missi open under the basket for an easy dunk.

The rookie tacked on two more off a mid-range jumper with 39 seconds remaining, setting the final score at 75-65.
