Although Yale did not score a field goal in the final five minutes, the Bulldogs nailed their free throws down the stretch and put the game away from the line.

Led by Woodbine and junior center Neil Yanke, who combined to shoot 12-of-12 from the line in the last five minutes, Yale scored its final 15 points on free throws. The Bulldogs made 19-of-27 from the stripe in the second after not attempting a single free throw in the first.

However, it was not as though Harvard didn't have chances of its own to win the game.

Down by only six at the half, the Bulldogs came out of the locker room shooting rocks and scoring only twice in the first eight minutes of the second half.

The Crimson was unable to take advantage of Yale's woes, however, turning the ball over four times and scoring only six points to open the second half.

"This was a difficult loss," Sullivan said. "With our youth and inexperience, however, it was an important learning experience. It was are first Ivy League road trip and the team will benefit from the seasoning."
