Harvard then turned the game into a track meet, and Yale could not keep pace. Feaster began by coming up with a steal at the defensive end of the floor. Seconds later she converted a Seanor pass into a layup to cap off the play.
Black got into the act with a steal of her own. She fired an outlet pass to Gelman, who slowly brought the ball up court and drained a three-pointer which forced Yale to take a timeout.
After the break, Harvard displayed a little show time for the home crowd. Seanor stole a Yale pass and started the fast break by passing the ball out to junior guard Megan Basil.
Basil penetrated against the Yale defense and gave the ball up to Seanor for the layup. But rather than going up with the shot, Seanor left a beautiful touch pass for Feaster who finished off the break to the roar of the fans.
A half-minute later Feaster capped the run with a trey of her own. The junior juggernaut finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in the game.
The night, however, belonged to Gelman.
Her three-pointer during the Harvard run put her over the 1,000 point mark for career scoring. She already broke Harvard's all-time career assist mark earlier this season.
"Jes played a great game," Delaney-Smith said. "I would highlight her assists, her passing, her defense. She is playing like a champion. She raised the level of this team with what she was doing on the floor."
The Crimson's field general has been combining a fine shooting touch with eye-opening passing all season, and last night was no different. She did not let her own achievements, however, outshine her team's accomplishment.
"I was just trying to shut the door on [Yale]," Gelman said. "I was excited because I thought it was a big momentum change. It's nice [to score 1,000 points], but it wasn't the most important thing that happened tonight."
In the tradition of the Bad Boys of Detroit and the Rockets of Houston, the Crimson of Harvard has now captured back-to-back championships. But neither the Pistons nor the Rockets could make history in the process as the Bulls did last year by winning an NBA-record 70 games.
Harvard, on the other hand, has that chance.
No Ivy League team has ever finished a season undefeated in league play. The Crimson is two victories away from achieving that feat.
The title has been claimed, but there is still one more goal to be realized. Before Harvard packs its bags and heads off to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year, it plans to make history.
"Almost taking priority over [winning the Ivy League title] is going undefeated," Delaney-Smith said. "We want to win our last two games, peri-
