With no other options, the 6'3" Flandermeyer took the role of point guard and brought the ball up court herself.

Flandermeyer gave a strong effort in the Crimson loss, leading the team with 22 points and 14 rebounds.

Surprisingly, prolific junior Erin Maher netted a paltry three points. The Crimson did a poor job feeding the ball to the dynamic off-guard.

"We didn't see the open player," Delaney Smith said. "A lot of our drives went too far in."

Niebling led the Catamounts with 19 points. Trumbull ended the game with a team-high nine rebounds.

Blowout

In the middle of the first half, Vermont burst ahead of the Crimson with an eight-minute 23-8 run. With 5:24 left in the session, Vermont led 34-18.

The Crimson tried to climb back into the game, but only managed to chip three points off the 16-point deficit.

With strong first half shooting (50 percent) and an impressive finish by sophomore Sheri Turnbull--last year's ECAC Rookie of the Year--the Catamounts left for the locker room with a 46-29 advantage.

When the second half began, Vermont continued on its offensive and defensive tear. Nothing went Harvard's way.

As the Catamounts catapulted their way to a 29-point lead, the second half quickly deseended into garbage time.

With 12:03 left in the game, the Crimson tried to stem the Vermont tide by calling a time out. It didn't help. Vermont applied the full-court press, stole the ball away and netted another two points.

From there, the Catamounts went on an 8-0 run over the next two minutes to build their biggest lead, 69-40. The only exciting moment of garbage time occurred with 1:05 remaining in the game. Harvard sophomore Kelly Morrison launched a three pointer and was fouled on the shot.

She swished the three. The foul shot was good. And the crowd was treated to a rare four-point play.

But did anyone really care? One minute later, the final horn thankfully ended the affair.
