Harvard shot 0-for-9 from the field and committed seven turnovers during the stretch, watching Princeton pad its lead to 26 points. “We had no connection with each other,” head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “It just epitomizes inexperience.” It didn’t help that Princeton seemed unable to miss from the opening tip, shooting 64 percent from the field, including 5-of-7 from three-point range, in the first half...
