"[Chandler's] a very physical inside player," Delaney Smith said. "She's an entity in there."
Rounding out the starting front is Duncan, who developed into an outstanding offensive player last season.
A finesse player with an accurate outside shot,Duncan led the league in blocks last season.
"Sarah's added a nice drive to her repertoire,"Delaney Smith said. "And obviously, she a greatshot-blocker."
The Crimson has a great deal of depth up front,with Cibotti providing a much-needed defensivespark. The senior was second behind Duncan inrebounding last season, and blocked 18 shots.
Sophomores Melinda Nelson and Sandy Springerhave matured, and will join Chandler as powerplayers on Harvard's inside game. Nelson isHarvard's "strongest player physically," accordingto Delaney Smith, while Springer has developed adangerous jump hook.
Rounding out the Crimson reserves is a pair ofnewcomers to varsity action. Sophomore JohannaFink sat on the bench with an injury last season,but looks to be an aid on the offensive boardsthis year. Also contributing will be freshmanJennifer Mazanec, a defensive player with strongjumping ability and a good outside shot.
