But Harvard never lost its composure, walking the walk instead of talking the talk.

Harvard sophomore Tammy Butler tallied her fourth consecutive double-double--registering 18 points and 16 rebounds.

Maher, who led all scorers with 31 (5-for-6 treys), became Harvard's third highest leading scorer with 1,189 points, dethroning Barbarann Keffer '88, who had scored 1,169.

Tonight, Harvard will face another Ancient Eight rival known for being "dangerous" and "tough".

And then Harvard will see what kind of trash women from New York City can talk.

Harvard will just keep walking. HARVARD, 84-71 at Briggs Cage Cornell  26  45  --  71 Harvard  35  49  --  84
