What do American and Holy Cross aside from being two of the three undefeated teams in the league? Overtime wins over Fairfield. AU did it Friday. Sunday Holy Cross sent the staggering Stags to their second straight OT loss, dropping Fairfield to 0-2. The Crusaders win headlined a Sunday that also saw Army get back into the win column. The news for Lehigh was not as good. Still, after Saturday night's league-wide debacle, a 2-1 Sunday was good news.
Holy Cross 67, Fairfield 65 (OT) -- Fairfield's Dan Oglesby missed a free throw with less than a second to go in regulation that could have won the game. Holy Cross' Torey Thomas had no such shortcomings when he went to the line with 2.9 left in overtime. Thomas sank both foul shots to give the Crusaders the victory.
Thomas heroics were not limited to those two free throws. In overtime he also came up with a steal that led to the Keith Simmons (18 points) three-pointer that tied the game at 63-63 and hit two other foul shots to give HC a 65-63 edge. Thomas finished with 20 points.
All was not beauty for the 'Saders, who turned it over 24 times. Eight of those came from Thomas, who had five assists. But a win is a win.
Adding to the positives, Alex Vander Baan returned to action, making a start, and Lawrence Dixon, who was not expected back before Thanksgiving, also managed 9 minutes. Pat Doherty, who missed almost all of last season with a foot injury, also returned to action, starting and playing 28 minutes.

Army 63, N.C. A&T 49 -- Matt Bell is back. The Army senior, and noted gym rat, suffered through a subpar campaign last season, hampered by injuries that kept him from getting in the kind of work on his shot he needs to stay sharp. Now he is feeling better, and so to is Army, which improved to 2-1 Sunday with a win over short-handed North Carolina A&T in Missouri. Bell had 18 points -- his third straight 17-plus game-- and 7 rebounds to lead the Black Knights.
Jarell Brown also had another big game, pouring in 22 points, 19 in the first half. Brown did not start in any of the Black Knights' three games in the John Thompson Classic due to a foot injury. He still averaged over 19 points per game during the three-game round robin, earning all-tournament team honors.
N.C. A&T was without the services of four players who did not make the trip to Missouri due to academic reasons. Among the four, Sean Booker, the MEAC's leading scorer two seasons back, who sat out all of last year as a redshirt to concentrate on academics. The combination of those players absence and Army's defense resulted in a 24-percent shooting night for N.C. A&T.

CSU Northridge 74, Lehigh 68 -- Jose Olivero had a 20 points afternoon for the Mountain Hawks. But he was 4-of-14 from the field (0-for-5 from three-point range) and turned it over five times, negating his five assists.
Turnovers were a big problem for the Hawks, who gave it away 22 times, leading to 27 CSN points. Kyle Neptune, who was also in double figures with 13 points (and team-high 8 rebounds), had five turnovers and freshman point guard Marquis Hall (10 points, 3 assists) had three. Jason Mgebroff added 13 points nd blocked a pair of shots.
