League teams had a good night Wednesday, going 5-0 in non-conference competition.
Holy Cross 63, Yale 58 -- With leading scorer Keith Simmons in foul trouble, Pat Doherty stepped up Wednesday night for Holy Cross, draining all four three-pointers he fired en route to a career-high 18-points. Doherty, who missed nearly all of last season with a foot injury, played 32 minutes, easily his most playing time since beginning his comeback. He also had 4 assists and 3 steals.
Simmons also was in double figures with 12 points, despite playing only 27 minutes. Simmons came into the game averaging better than 34 minutes per game.
The Crusaders led by 8 (28-20) at the half, after holding Yale to 36 percent shooting from the field. But the Bulldogs made a game of it in the second half, heating up to make 13 of 22 (59.1 percent) in the second.
Holy Cross struggled at the foul line much of the game, going 13 for 22. When they needed them, though, they made their foul shots, going 7 for 10 at the chairty stripe after Yale cut the lead to 3 late in the game.

Bucknell 60, St. Francis (PA) 56 -- A big comeback win on the road for the Bison, who won in Loretto for the first time since 1999.
Down as many as 15 in the second half, after shooting just 29.2 percent from the field in the first half, the Bison closed to within 8 with just under three minutes left. A three-point play by Donald Brown and a three-point shot by John Griffin cut it to 2. St. Francis' Bassirou Dieng hit a pair of free throws to stretch the lead back to 4, but that would be the last points SF would score.
Jason Vegotsky (11 points) hit a three to make it a one-point game, and following another defensive stop, Chris McNaughton hit a little hook shot with 40 seconds left to give Bucknell the lead for the first time all night.
Abe Badmus (10 points) had a key deflection and made three free throws in the final 26 seconds to seal the win for the Bison, who held Saint Francis to five field goals in the second half (5 of 22, 22.7 percent) after letting the Red Flash go 11 for 21 (52.4 percent) in the first.
Bucknell had a similar turnaround, going 7 of 24 (29.2 percent) in the first half, 13 of 25 (52 percent) in the second.

Lehigh 96, Swarthmore 33 -- Every Mountain Hawk that got into the game scored, but curiously two guys did not play in a game won by 63 points: 7-foot sophomore John Gourlay and 6-5 freshman winger Paul Bayer. Bayer has not played at all this season, the only Hawk with that distinction. Gourlay has played in six of Lehigh's nine games.
Nothing in Lehigh's notes mentions either being injured.

Colgate 80, Quinnipiac 71 -- Junior Daniel Waddy poured in a career-high 27 points to lead the Raiders to their second straight win. The transfer from St. Mary's also had 5 rebounds and 6 assists for the 'Gate, which has won back-to-back games for the firs time since this time last season, when they beat Dartmouth and Princeton in successive games.
Jon Simon added 18 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Tim Pounds also in double figures with 10 points.
Colgate's other transfer, sophomore Willie Morse, did not play due to an unspecified injury suffered in Monday's win over Binghamton. He is listed as day to day.

American 75, NJIT 50 -- The Lithuanian contingent took care of business for AU. Arvydas Eitutavicius led the Eagles with 20 points. Fellow Lithuanians Linas Lekavicius (16) and Paulius Joneliunas (12) were also in double firgures for AU, which broke open a close game with an 8-0 run at the start of the second half.
Defense was the difference in the second half. After letting NJIT shoot 50 percent (12 of 24) in the opening stanza, the Eagles held the Highlanders to 7 field goals in the second (7 of 20, 35 percent).
Derrick Mercer also added 13 points for American, which won despite a scoreless night by the team's leading scorer, senior guard Andre Ingram. Ingram was 0 for 4 from the field, with 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 turnover in 23 minutes. It was the first time in 95 career games Ingram went without scoring.
