ITHACA, N.Y. -- Chris Johnson scored 19 points to lead three players in double digits as St. Bonaventure held on to beat Cornell 72-68 Wednesday night in nonconference action.

Demitrius Conger and Marquise Simmons chipped in with 14 points and six rebounds apiece.

After Shonn Miller's dunk tied the game at 10 for Cornell, the Bonnies (2-0) scored the next eight points and finished the half on a 25-14 run. St Bonaventure led at halftime 35-24.

The Big Red (1-1) fought back in the second half to make it a one-possession game.
