...rookie bunch got a season’s worth of lessons. The Crimson gave up a buzzer-beater to Brown at home, got pummeled by Dartmouth in the Ivy opener and the Ivy Finale, threw a game away against the Tigers and came out sluggish against Penn twice. Only two times did Harvard sweep an Ivy weekend, a rare up-and-down for any Delaney-Smith-coached team.But each time, a group of four freshmen earned valuable minutes against the Ivy League’s best. Freshman Katie Rollins learned well what happens when you come out sluggish defensively against...
...turnovers in the first 13 minutes.As for the Tigers? They nailed four three-pointers over that stretch—twice Harvard’s total for the game—and buried 13 of their first 16 shots. If it were an anomaly, one might chalk up the sluggish effort to the emotions of Senior Night, to a hot-shooting and deep Princeton team, or to a stubborn rim that denied the Crimson the bottom of the net.But this, the worst case of the first half drought, must be evaluated within the context of Harvard’s first halves...
...another offensive dash. The duo of Gaddy Fortune and Jill Depetris blasted a total of four goals, two apiece, past Harvard goaltender Kathryn Tylander to increase the lead to six goals as the half ended.

The run for Syracuse continued to 5-0 as Megan Mosenson scored the first goal of the second half. Harvard attempted to come back, closing within five as Gamble and Caroline Simmons scored on free positions to make it 9-4 with 24:15 left...
...captain Matt Stehle said. “It was like we had all just woken up from a long sleep.” Just as in last week’s losses to Princeton and Penn, the Crimson struggled in the opening minutes, getting off to a sluggish start that had the team playing from well behind the entire night. In stark contrast to last month’s 75-58 win in Providence, in which Harvard outscored Brown 45-23 in the first half, Harvard looked listless against a revitalized Bears squad that out-hustled Harvard around the court...

In stark contrast to last month’s 75-58 win in Providence, in which Harvard outscored Brown 45-23 in the first half, Harvard looked listless and uncertain against a revitalized Bears squad that out-hustled Harvard around the court, jumping out to a 10-3 lead four minutes into the game...
