...gave 85 percent of its playing time to five starters—four of them upperclassmen—including senior Jeannie Cullen, who racked up seven threes and 35 points in the effort. The experienced squad shot 50 percent from the floor, including 52.4 percent from beyond the arc, because it coolly exploited holes in the Harvard defense and employed textbook screens with characteristic self-assurance. “They’re fun to watch,” Delaney-Smith said. “They’re not fun to play, but they?...
...second half, the Crimson switched to a high-pressure man-to-man defense that kept Dartmouth closer to halfcourt and away from the three-point line. After the Big Green nailed nine-of-16 first-half three-pointers, Harvard held them to just five attempts from the arc in the second frame.

...bring two zebras to the Square a couple of months ago. (The group came to believe later that this ill-fated scheme somehow entitled them to opinine on the Undergraduate Council elections.)

In response, Bush asked, "Who authorized putting him on pain medication?" Risen makes the leap...
...Pride fought back with an aggressive defense that dominated the boards, snatching up 44 overall, compared to the Crimson’s 28.Sophomore guard Lindsay Hallion had eight points in that first run, including two field goals from beyond the arc. Co-captain Maureen McCaffery and senior Laura Robinson both notched six points in the same span. The way Harvard played in the first five minutes did not turn out to be a real indicator of how the game would go.“We stopped moving and got a little bit stagnant for a while,” said...
