...Finelli said. “She was one of our only weapons on the boards this weekend.”Harvard turned on the jets after halftime, shooting a blistering 46 percent from the floor in the second frame en route to 44 points and the win. A layup from senior forward Katie Rollins tied things up at 36 with just over 16 to play, and co-captain Emily Tay’s jumper at the 8:47 mark gave the Crimson a lead it would not relinquish. When a three-pointer from the Blue Devils’ Gabrielle Oglesby...

He finished with 20 points and seven boards in an eventual 76-67 Harvard victory. The next night, Lin did one better, notching 21 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals, leading...
...those shots. In a game where the opposing team was shooting so well, Harvard needed a boost to get past its sub-50 field goal percentage, and that force never came through.Twice the Crimson got within two points—once with Harris’ put-back layup, and once with a pair of free throws by junior Andrew Pusar. Neither was able to spark a huge run, however, and Brown responded to every Harvard basket with two or three more. The Bears went on a 21-6 run after the Crimson cut the lead, and the game never...
