Caramanico's departure paves the way for Hanks and Peljto to be the premier frontcourt players in the league.
The 6'1 Hanks was last year's Ivy Rookie of the Year. If anyone other than Peljto wins the honor this year, it would be a major upset. Peljto was Ivy Rookie of the Week seven times this year.
"Hana is on her way to a great career because she is multi-dimensional," Harvard Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. "She's in the same league as Katherine Hanks was her freshman year."
Against the Big Green last night, Peljto was in Hanks' league, and maybe a little out of it. Peljto netted 25 points, preserving her lead over Hanks for second place in the Ivy scoring race with a 16.1 ppg average, 17.4 ppg in Ivy play.
Hanks finished the season averaging 15.7 ppg after putting in 18 frustrating points in last night's loss, including a desperation 30-foot three-pointer that banked in as the halftime buzzer sounded.
