...torn ACL.This young Harvard squad—the Crimson has just two seniors on the roster, and five of the team’s 12 players are sophomores—inherits an Ivy League that graduated all three of the first team All-Ivy guard selections from 2005-2006. Dartmouth lost stars Angie Soriaga and Jeannie Cullen, while Brown graduated 2005-2006 Ivy League Player of the Year Sarah Hayes.The Crimson also lost its two backcourt leaders but has two athletic slashers in Hallion and Tay and a veritable sharpshooter in Finelli. Tay led the team in scoring five times...
...senior players from last year’s team made initial losses to Yale and Boston College appear dire. The turning point of the season, according to both coaches and players, came when Nicholas Mott ’07 delivered a heartfelt and inspiring locker room speech before a Dartmouth game. “Nick’s been injured so he hasn’t been playing,” Joshua N.

Youth is widespread, with Cornell boasting two standout sophomores and the Crimson bringing back five second-year players with big-time potential. Young teams will make mistakes, and so will voters: it is impossible to predict a sure Ivy Champion. A veteran Dartmouth squad was a unanimous choice last year...
...injuries and inconsistencies—was hardly a typical year for Delaney-Smith, who has won nine Ivy League titles in her 24 seasons as Harvard’s head coach, most recently in 2003 and 2005. The Crimson stumbled out of the gate in its Ivy opener against Dartmouth, losing 91-76 to the eventual league champions and beginning a frustrating trend of first-half lethargy that would mar the Ivy season.By the end of the year, Harvard had lost its star guard and co-captain Jessica Holsey ’06 to a season-ending concussion and given...
