CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) Tyler Cavanaugh had 20 points and seven rebounds, Jaren Sina scored 19 points, and George Washington beat Harvard 77-74 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

George Washington held a 37-33 lead at halftime and had the first three baskets of the second half for an 11-point lead. Harvard only had four points in the first seven-plus minutes of the second half and trailed 50-37.

Harvard cut it to eight points, but Jordan Roland hit a 3-pointer from the corner and converted the 4-point play to push the lead back to 12 with 9:30 left. The Crimson tied it at 60-all with 5:11 left after a 10-2 run but GW scored the next eight points to seal it.

Arnaldo Toro added eight points and 10 rebounds for George Washington (4-3). Starter Yuta Watanabe, who is averaging 13.4 points, did not play in a second straight game because of a calf injury.
