...stopping Villanova means stopping one of the tallest players in women's college basketball, 6-ft., 4-in., Lisa Ortlip. As would be expected, Ortlip leads her team in rebounds, averaging 9.2 per game. She is also the Wildcats' leading scorer, sinking 17 points a game. Last year Ortlip was voted most valuable player in the Big Five league, and she is likely to repeat as MVP this year...
...tallest starter on that team was 6-ft. 5-ins. and the Crimson found itself repeatedly victimized under the boards. The influx of large types will aid Harvard immeasurably underneath, particularly senior co-captain Mark Harris, who at a beefy 6-ft. 5 ins. had to guard people six inches taller all season long...

Crimson coach Carol Kleinfelder, discouraged with listless Harvard rebounding, decided inferior height must have been the cause and started her five tallest players. Though strategically questionable, Kleinfelder's plan proved a good choice and the cagers paced B.U. bucket for bucket most of the second half...
