M. Hoops Drops Two on Road

Unfortunately, the welcoming at Yale was even rougher.

After the game was delayed an hour due to Harvard's late arrival, the Bulldogs (4-10, 2-0) took full advantage of their road-weary opponents, handing the Crimson its first Ivy league loss, 69-61 on Friday night.

Led by the outside shooting of sophomore guard Onaje Woodbine, who netted 28 points and drained 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, Yale jumped out to an early lead on the strength of its three-point shooting and never looked back.

"Before tonight, Woodbine hadn't been draining threes like that, and I think his three-point shooting fueled Yale," Sullivan said. "He got off to a terrific start and then made free throws down the stretch."

In the first half, the Bulldogs scored more than half their points on threes, nailing 6-of-13 from beyond the arc to take a 32-26 lead into halftime.

Coleman led the Crimson in scoring, picking up a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.

Shooting 8-of-17 from the field, Coleman had another big night scoring for Harvard, although he turned the ball over six times and only made one trip to the line.

"The five-hour bus trip was definitely a factor," Sullivan said. "We struggled getting are legs early and never found them."
