W. Hoopsters Cruise to 85-69 Drubbing of Columbia

Maher Scores 22 Points, Butler Tallies Double-Double, Torrid Defense Holds Lions to 38 Percent Shooting

Fellow Co-Captain Debbie Flandermeyer scored the other two points of the barrage on a turnaround jumper.

She finished with eight points and 12 extremely important rebounds, giving the Crimson the rebounding edge for the game, 35-31.

Although the offensive accuracy of the Harvard women played a decisive role in the victory, it was their tenacious first half defense which turned the game into a New York nightmare for the Lions.

Columbia's shooting was colder than the wind chill factor outside Levien Gymnasium, as they shot only 38 percent from the field (22 percent in the first half) and scored only seven field goals in the first half. HARVARD, 85-69 at Levien Gymnasium Harvard  43  42  --  85 Columbia  21  48  --  69
