PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon Colavita carried 17 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns as Pennsylvania clinched at least a share of the Ivy League title by beating Harvard 34-14 on Saturday.

The Quakers (8-1, 6-0), who led 10-0 at halftime, broke it open with 17 third-quarter points. Billy Ragone threw a 25-yard scoring pass to Jeff Jack and scored on a 6-yard run.

The Crimson (6-3, 4-2) drove into Penn territory four times in the fourth quarter but got just seven points. The Quakers ended two of those drives with interceptions and also stopped Harvard on downs with 56 seconds left.

Colavita scored on a 2-yard run 3:15 before halftime, and his 35-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter gave Penn its final points.

Harvard’s Gino Gordon carried 21 times for 110 yards and a touchdown and Collie Winters completed 21 of 44 for 219 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted three times.
