Tim "Big Purple Dog" Clifford scored 23 points and set a new school record for blocked shots to lead the Crusaders in a 60-39 spanking of Yale.
Clifford, who finished with 8 rebounds, had 6 blocks, the last of which gave him 154 on his career, breaking the school mark of 153 set by Nate Lufkin. Colin Cunningham, who is emerging as a real scoring threat on the wing for Ralph Willard's squad, posted a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double, the first of his career.
The Crusaders shot 46.7 percent (21=45) from the field, including an efficient 4 of 7 from the arc, and held a 40-30 advantage on the boards. But it was the HC defense that really made the difference. Holy Cross held Yale to 12 of 45 (26.7 percent) from the field (5-16 threes) and forced 18 Bulldogs turnovers.
No Yale player reached double figures.
The win, the 'Saders 22nd straight in the Hart Center, makes Holy Cross 6-0 for the first time since the 1988-89 season.
The Crusaders played without starting power forward Alex Vander Baan, who sat out with a leg injury suffered in practice Sunday. Sophomore Eric Meister made his first career start in Vander Baan's place.
