The more goodies a school is vacuuming up from the industry, the worse its grade...
...during the game, we’ll kick it up top but we’re always able to change up play during the game.”Over the past three games, forward Emma Markley has spearheaded the Crimson offense posting 23 points against Penn, 13 points against Columbia and 13 points against Cornell. Harvard looks to surprise both teams, by debuting a different style of play than displayed in the teams’ previous meetings.
