...Storm will greet its host from Cambridge with a fast-paced, transition-oriented attack. The squad uses a stifling press to force and convert off of turnovers. It boasts three scorers in double figures, led by senior guard Monique McLean and her 17.3 points per game. Freshman forward Da’Shena Stevens, the Big East Rookie of the Year, checks in with 11.7 points and a team-leading 6.5 rebounds—she’ll have the attention of the Crimson’s frontcourt corps...

The student body briefly broke out in protest over the move to eliminate the program, which had allowed approximately 20 students per semester last year and greater numbers in the preceding years, to join the Harvard community.
