The Women

The Crimson women also faced some tough competition recently. Eighth-ranked Vanderbilt defeated Harvard 107-69 at Briggs Cage last Thursday, and Harvard's record has fallen to 2-8 overall, 0-0 Ivy.

Last season's rookie of the year, sophomore Elizabeth Proudfit scored 20 points against Vanderbilt and garnered league honors for her performance last week.

Against Northeastern, junior scoring and rebounding leader Tammy Butler scored 15 points and pulled down 17 boards, but it was just not enough as the Crimson could not keep up its first half intensity for the whole game.

Harvard trailed Northeastern by a mere four points at intermission but went cold in the second half, making seven of its 29 shots and mustering only 19 points.

Princeton and Pennsylvania come to Briggs this weekend as the women see their first league action of the season.
