More than two months into the season, the Harvard women’s basketball team continues its search for the perfect 40 minutes of offensive production. But against Penn on Saturday, one 20-minute explosion was enough to give the Crimson a hard-fought road win in Philadelphia. Harvard shot 71 percent from the field in the second half to overcome a seven-point halftime deficit and down the Quakers 77-65 at the Palestra. After a poor-shooting first half, the Crimson (8-12, 4-3 Ivy) came out hot after the break and sustained an offensive tear that...

Some, meanwhile, have dramatically stepped aside. Former Deputy Prime Minister John Manley bowed out publicly in a Jan. 26 Globe...
...always rough sledding in the first half of the game.” The Crimson looked calmer and more poised in the second half, as Stehle asserted himself on the offensive glass and Harvard attacked the basket with much more consistency. Freshman Evan Harris put up 10 hard-fought points against a bruising SMU frontcourt and Stehle earned six of his team-high nine rebounds on the offensive end.
