The Crimson took a 33-24 lead into halftime, thanks in part to sophomore forward Pat Magnarelli’s 11 points and six rebounds in the first 20 minutes, and expanded its cushion to 18 with 14:11 remaining in regulation.

But three-pointers from co-captain Jessica Knox and junior Niki Finelli helped give Harvard a 12-point cushion with 13:07 to go. An 18-7 run by New Hampshire brought it back within two, but the Crimson sank its free throws to hold for the win.
