Holy Cross tied the count at 14-14 after 9:40 on an upside-down drive by Connors, but good defense by Bowditch and Bill Danner produced several fast-break opportunities. Lynch's long set gave the varsity a five-point lead, 25 to 20, after about 15 minutes, but the Crusaders put on a full-court press and caught up with 3:05 left in the half...
