...first six minutes on the heels of a 13-8 run keyed by what seemed like the entire Marist roster. Harvard struggled to respond, as the team could not put together any consistency on offense thanks to foul trouble for sophomore center Katie Rollins and co-captain Christiana Lackner. It wasn’t for lack of effort, though—bodies flew on a number of occasions, and the contest saw no less than four jump balls...
...Foxes failed to capitalize on the extra opportunities, however, and just barely maintained a 34-32 advantage entering the intermission. Rollins led Harvard with seven points at halftime, while co-captain Christiana Lackner paced the Crimson with four rebounds.

...Crimson opened the game with six quick baskets in the low post, but BU implemented an aggressive halfcourt man-to-man defense that stymied Crimson guard play and forced Harvard beyond the perimeter.“Our game plan was to go inside,” co-captain Christiana Lackner said. “I thought it was lot easier in the beginning to get it inside and empty the ball to the wings. That’s what would get us [open] threes in the end, but we got away from it and got stuck on the perimeter...
