...perimeter shooting, most of which came courtesy of Berry and Matera’s hot hands. Berry made an efficient contribution on 5-for-6 shooting from the floor (including 2-of-3 from long range), and Matera connected on 4-for-9 attempts from beyond the arc. But to compete with Harvard, Brown would have needed sharpshooting guard Karly Grace to match Berry and Matera basket for basket. The Crimson zeroed in on Grace on the perimeter, limiting her to 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting (2-for-9 from distance). Bears point guard Courtney Lee (four points...

Then it was a pull-up just inside the arc. Then two free throws, followed by a bank-shot. He followed that with another jumper, then hit both ends of a one-and-one. When his one-man run ended, he had kept the team close, as it led 54-52 with eight-and-a-half minutes left...
