...with a lot of pride.” Cornell nailed five first-half three pointers, including two in 16 seconds to push a three-point lead to nine with 8:27 to play. A slew of uncharacteristic turnovers and cold shooting sent Harvard to an early disadvantage. After a seesaw battle in the opening minutes, the Big Red opened up a 31-16 lead on a 16-2 run punctuated by a Katie Fitzsimmons three-pointer and a pair of free throws from freshman standout Jeomi Maduka. Fitzsimmons continued with the hot hand, finishing 7-of-10 from...

An interior tandem of Jennifer Fleischer and Monica Naltner, the Crimson’s chief concern prior to tipoff, combined for just 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting. “Our focus was stopping them on the inside,” McCaffery added. “I think we did a good job with that and forced them to shoot from the outside.” The plan almost backfired, however, when Penn’s Joey Rhoads started out hot, sinking four three-pointers in the first half...

One more steal and a vaguely inevitable baseline jumper (with a scant two-tenths of a second to go) later and Princeton had completed the improbable comeback, Harvard the monumental collapse. All traces of excitement...
...just played in a funk. It was like we had all just woken up from a long sleep.” A LITTLE PICK ME UP Stehle gave Harvard a boost out of the intermission, scoring the Crimson’s first eight points after halftime. But after a three-pointer by freshman point guard Drew Housman, Stehle picked up a technical foul as he tossed the ball to a Brown player. “That was really a momentum-changing play,” Stehle said. “It was really stupid, and I really let my team...
