...play.”Hallion and senior Jessica Knox have assumed the leadership mantle from last year’s co-captains, Kyle Dalton and Christiana Lackner. Lackner’s departure may not have created a leadership vacuum, but it has created a hole in the Harvard frontcourt. One of the talented freshmen, 6’3 forward Emma Markley, looks to fill this spot.“[Markley] is probably the closest player that can replace [Lackner],” Hallion figures. “She has a lot of finesse around the basket, so hopefully she?...
...leading scorer last season with 12.9 points a game. She also led the team in assists and steals on her way to first-team All-Ivy honors. Junior Niki Finelli, a talented all-around player and dangerous three-point shooter, rounds out the backcourt. The Harvard frontcourt faces more of a challenge. The loss of Christiana Lackner, a dogged rebounder and one of last season’s captains, is one of the biggest problems for the Crimson. “We knew we had to fill Christiana’s shoes, and let me just officially state...

The team graduated forward Christiana Lackner, who was a rebounding powerhouse and was a big part of the resurgence Harvard had at the end of last season. Without Lackner, rebounding is the one of the chinks in the team’s armor...
...better than this season, as the team loses just one starter—though that one starter is leading scorer Jim Goffredo. Among the returnees, Drew Housman could be the best point guard in the league with Jaaber gone and Evan Harris should be one of the better frontcourt players in the Ivies (even if he still can’t go to his right). Plus, many freshmen played well in limited minutes towards the end of the year, perhaps setting the stage for big sophomore seasons. And who knows, perhaps the new coach will bring an offense or defense...
