Freshman Prasse-Freeman ran the point for the Crimson, contributing 11points, nine assists and three steals in the losing effort. He did, however, turn the ball over seven times.

Despite the turnovers, the solid play of Prasse-Freeman is encouraging for Harvard, which is seeking a replacement for last year's senior point guard Tim Hill. Hill graduated as Harvard's career assist leader.

"Elliott had a very good day," said Sullivan of his freshman point guard's performance.

Winter--who is filling in for injured star, junior forward Dan Clemente--had a tough afternoon, scoring just four points and grabbing just two boards.

Saturday marked the Crimson's third game without the help of their scoring leader, Clemente. Clemente, who last played on Dec. 7, is sidelined for the season with a detached retina.

"When we lost Clemente, we lost a big cog in our offense," Sullivan said. "But our guys have made excellent progress in the past seven days. A week ago at this time we were in bits and pieces"

Harvard, though, got very little help from its bench on Saturday. Freshman center Onnie Mayshak chipped in with three points and five rebounds on 14 minutes of play. Mayshak, however, was the only non-starter to score.
