Tim Clifford stayed out of foul trouble and Holy Cross stayed unbeaten, downing Harvard 80-69.

Clifford, who played 31 minutes with just three fouls, scored 22 points to lead the Crusaders (4-0). Alex Bander Baan added 19 points and 8 rebounds for HC, which used a late 10-0 run to seal it after Harvard had battled back from down as many as 15 points to tie the game with 5:56 to play.

Colin Cunningham had a big night for the Crusaders, finishing with 13 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Adam May added 16 points off the bench and Pat Doherty dished out 8 assists.

Harvard shot the ball well, hitting 24 of 47 from the field (51.1 percent), including 6 three-pointers on 16 tries, against the usually stingy Crusaders defense.

But Holy Cross matched th Crimson's effort, connecting on 29 of 57 (50.9 percent) and made up for a 3 for 16 showing at the arc by going 19 for 26 from the foul line while Harvard shot 15 of 21 there.
