W. Hoops Looks to Close Perfect Season Against Big Green

A Win Versus Dartmouth Would Cap First Undefeated Ivy Season in League History; NCAA Tourney Already Looms

"We'll need to stop their drive and keep them off the offensive boards," Miller said. "They're a good fast-breaking team."

Dartmouth ('89-90) and Princeton ('92-93) are the only Ivy teams, other than this year's Crimson, to take perfect league records into the final game of the season. Harvard thwarted Dartmouth's bid with a desperation shot at the buzzer.

Harvard has now won five Ivy titles; This season saw its first repeat performance.

The team will seek its 11th straight win (and 26th consecutive Ivy win) tonight.

In wins No. 24 and 25, against Yale and Brown, respectively, junior Allison Feaster recorded her 14th and 15th double-doubles of the season (25 points, 10 rebounds versus the Bulldogs; 26, 12 against the Bears).

Feaster was named Ivy League Player of the Week (along with Cornell's Kim Ruck) for the week of March 3.

Gelman, who scored 13 against Brown, now ranks 11th on the all-time Harvard scoring list (1,020). She scored her 1,000th career point against Yale.

"Allison is of All-American caliber, and we have two great captains [Gelman and senior Kelly Black]," Miller said.

The Crimson will learn its NCAA opponent's identity on Sunday.

"We'll need to pull together for 40 minutes in the tournament," Miller said. "We have a tendency to have letdowns. We can definitely win if we play as well as we did against Brown.

"Don't play us in a zone; we're deadly. Everyone on our team can shoot the three. It's our trademark. We're also learning to draw the foul.
