...play, and the score remained at 62-53 for nearly two minutes before Pilypaitis made a layup with 6:48 left. Harvard never cut the lead back to single digits. Delaney-Smith’s search for consistent production from her front line continues. Freshman Lisa Harchut was a pleasant surprise with seven rebounds in the first eight minutes of her collegiate career, but starting forwards Katie Rollins and Adrian Budischak contributed just four points apiece.
