Harvard defeats Yale to win the 2014 Ivy League Championship

The Harvard Crimson became the first team in the nation to punch their ticket into the NCAA tournament with a 70-58 victory over the Yale Bulldogs to become the 2014 Ivy League Champions.

Being in a league without a conference tournament, Harvard entered the contest with a two-game lead over Yale in the standings and clinched the Ivy League Championship outright with the win. The Crimson, who are the first team to win four straight Ivy League titles since Penn did it from 1993-96, will now hear their name called on Selection Sunday for a third straight year and will be making their fifth consecutive trip to the postseason overall.

Harvard improved to 25-4 overall with the victory, coming one win shy of the program record, and has matched their best win total in the Ivy League with a 12-1 mark.
