Feaster enters the weekend averaging 20.5 points and five rebounds per game. She is the focal point of the Crimson's offense and arguably the team's best defender. The Feaster-Chase matchup may be a crucial factor in the final out-come of the game.

Maryland also brings height and a deep-shooting threat into the contest. Five of the Terrapins are over 6'2", including 6'8" sophomore center Branka Bogunovic. Bogunovic is coming off of a career-high 16-point performance in the Terps' 74-42 throttling of Georgia Tech last Friday.

"[Their height] doesn't concern me," Feaster said. "We faced a taller team in Vanderbilt two years ago."

Maryland's sophomore guard Tiffany Brown is a terror from downtown. Last year in her rookie season she connected on 38 percent of her shots from beyond the arc, and she set a school record for most three-pointers made in a season with 48.

However, Harvard boasts some long-range weapons of its own. Co-captain Megan Basil, junior Suzie Miller, seniors Sarah Brandt and Karun Grossman and Feaster can knock down a trey at anytime.

In addition to the perimeter game, the Crimson has a corps of forwards who have played exceptionally well through the first two games. Junior Rose Janowski leads this group, averaging 10.5 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Sarah Russell, who was the Crimson's main energy source a year ago, has come alive offensively and is averaging eight points per game. Sophomores Laela Sturdy and Courtney Egelhoff have also played solid basketball coming off the bench.

While the Crimson will face either Holy Cross or Mt. St. Mary's on Sunday, Harvard is focusing only on the immediate task at hand--namely defeating Maryland. Feaster is confident that her team is ready to meet the Terps' challenge.

"[Maryland] probably will be our biggest test of the pre-Ivy season," she said. "I think we will respond well."
