Cameron Nizialek kicked a career-long 40-yard field goal and ran 13 yards for a score on a fake field goal Saturday to help Columbia end an 18-game Ivy League losing streak with a 17-7 victory at Yale.
Columbia (2-5, 1-3) won a conference game for the first time since it beat Cornell, 34-17, on Nov. 12, 2012.
Jason Alessi returned a punt 80 yards for a score to give the Bulldogs (4-3, 1-3) a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter, but Skyler Mornhinweg hit Hank Trumbull for a 7-yard touchdown to tie the score with 5 minutes 30 seconds left in the first half.
