Seniors, Clemente Provide Fond Farewell

Hill took the upper hand early on, scoring 14 points, to go along with six assists and no turnovers in the first half. Jordan, meanwhile, had 10 points at the break, but dished out only three assists and was forced into six turnovers, getting four inexplicably on travelling violations.

"He's real fast," Jordan said of Hill, "and he was hitting his jump shots, which he didn't the first time. It was me and Hill one-on-one most of the time, and he just made shots."

In the second half, foul trouble forced Hill to switch off of Jordan, and the junior star proceeded to score 14 points after the break to lead the scoring with 24 overall. He finished with four assists, but had nine turnovers in the game.

Jordan scored seven more than Hill, but Hill easily won the assists and turnover battle, helping to keep the outmatched Crimson in the game.

After the tough Penn loss, Hill remained focused, stepping up once again to lead the Crimson to victory against Princeton, to leave his home court a winner, defeating the Tigers for the first time in his four-year career.

"Without a doubt, it's the best win of my career," Hill said. "This is the only team in the Ivy League that the seniors haven't beaten, and we couldn't have asked for a better night."

For the game, Hill shot 8-of-16 from the field, including 10-of-12 from the foul line, to lead all scorers with 27 points. He also dished out four assists--with the final one being the record breaker--against one turnover for the game.

With his great play this weekend, hill has made a strong statement for First Team honors in the League. His play--as usual--was vital to Harvard's success.
