But the lack of mid-game advice certainly didn't hurt the Crimson.

Harvard controlled the remainder of the contest, building up leads of 13 and 15 points throughout the second stanza.

"We knew what to concentrate on. They're really big inside, and boxing out was definitely a key," Brown said.

Big D

Sophomore center Sarah Duncan played excellent defense on Dartmouth's leading scorer and rebounder, Liz Walters. But Walters, last year's Ivy Rookie of the Year, responded in kind, holding Duncan to two points and no rebounds in the first half.

"Dartmouth paid a lot of attention to Sarah," Delaney Smith said. "They were giving her a really quick double-team, but she handled it beautifully."

On the Rebound

Duncan rallied in the second half, netting 15 points and grabbing 12 boards. She was also credited with four blocked shots.

"We played great help defense, especially on Liz Walters," Brown said. "We just didn't let their pressure get to us."
