After Columbia returned Tom Mante’s kickoff to the 18-yard line, Oluwale tossed a long pass down the field, which became Paul Rice’s team-leading fourth interception of the season. That is not the way you want to begin your first career The Bulldogs will begin their first drive on the 39-yard line.

Just when things were looking up for Yale, Hart was sacked on 2nd and 10. The Bulldogs now face a 3rd and 19 on the Penn 44-yard line with 2:11 remaining.

At the end of the 3rd quarter it’s 7-3, Yale, but the Quakers are on the brink of scoring. Penn will start the quarter on the 10-yard line.

Gio Christodoulou was finally able to find some room on a return and advanced it to the Yale 35 but the offense went three and out once again.

Flato dribbled through traffic and tried to get the ball to Caleb Holmes but had the ball stolen. Wagner’s Porter raced down the floor for a layup and a last second heave by Pinick fell short. The final score Wagner 71, Yale 68. Yale’s losing skid is now at five games.

Well one questionable call has gone in Yale’s favor. A charge was called against Wagner with 10.8 seconds remaining. Coach Jones has just called a timeout and expect the Bulldogs to take the last shot of the game.

Another questionable call against the Bulldogs today, as the Seahawks went to the line after converting a layup despite contact. Wagner, however, failed to take advantage and missed the free throw.

With ten Wagner fouls in the second half, Yale finds itself in the double bonus, something that can prove to be costly for the Seahawks. Yale has just taken the lead with a pair of free throws from Morin 68-67.

Wagner’s Mark Porter responded with a huge shot of his own — a three pointer — to put Wagner up 67-64.

Nick Holmes just hit a big jumper to tie the game at 64 with 2:20 left.

The Holmes twins seem to have a connection on the court as well. Caleb found Nick cutting to the basket for an easy layup to put Yale within one — 63-62 — with 3:50 remaining.

Wagner’s Ulrich has quietly put up 14 points along with 9 rebounds to go with Vinson’s prowess down low. Kyle has been able to keep Vinson in check so far in the second half, but Ulrich has stepped in nicely.
