Junior Darryl Smith, averaging 8.6 points per game, led Cornell (9-14, 2-7) with a career-high 22 points - scoring all 12 points in one four-minute stretch of the second half to bring Big Red back into the game. Robert Hatter, the Ivy's leading scorer, added 11 on 4-for-12 shooting.

The all-time series between the longtime rivals is knotted at 106 wins apiece.
