PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — Nick Townsend scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Yale to a 77-60 win over Penn in an Ivy League men’s basketball game Saturday at The Palestra.

The Bulldogs (14-3, 3-1 Ivy) controlled the interior, outscoring the Quakers 42-24 in the paint and outrebounding them offensively 12-7. Yale’s defense held Penn (9-9, 2-2) to just 38% shooting from the floor.

Isaac Celiscar added 12 points and 12 rebounds for Yale, while Trevor Mullin also scored 17. AJ Levine led Penn with 17 points and seven assists.

Yale built a double-digit lead by halftime and maintained control throughout the second half, never letting the Quakers within striking distance. The Bulldogs have won three straight conference games.
