CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- Laurent Rivard made 5 of 10 from beyond
the arc and scored 17 points to lead Harvard over Manhattan
79-45 on Friday night.



Siyani Chambers scored 14 points, and Christian Webster added 12
points for Harvard (2-1), who had five players reach double
figures, including Agunwa Okolie (11) and Wesley Saunders (10).



Emmy Andujar scored 12 points and RaShawn Stores had 11 points
for Manhattan (0-2).



Harvard put the game away early. At 11-5 in the first half,
Harvard went on a 22-4 run- including two 3-pointers by Rivard -
that led to a 39-17 halftime lead.



Harvard's 34-point margin is the largest for the Crimson since
defeating Daniel Webster by 43, 94-51, on Dec. 28, 2008, and
Manhattan's 45 points was the fewest Harvard has allowed since
topping Brown 69-42 last season.



The Crimson held Manhattan to 14 of 41 shooting and caused 26
turnovers.
