Yale 74, Sacred Heart 64

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- Dominick Martin had 19 points and 10

rebounds, and Yale held off a second-half comeback to beat Sacred

Heart 74-64 Wednesday night.

Yale led by 10 at halftime and expanded the lead to 19 early in

the second half. But a 21-6 Sacred Heart run made it a four-point

game with 9:25 to play. The Pioneers got as close as two, but a

Casey Hughes tip-in started a 10-0 Yale run that put the game away.

Sam Kaplan scored 17 points for the Bulldogs (2-3) and Edwin

Draughan added 16 points and eight rebounds.

Ryon Howard led four Sacred Heart played with 14 points. Joey

Henley had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The Pioneers (1-4) shot just 35 percent, though they made

10-of-23 from 3-point range, including five during the run that got

them back in the game.
