But in the first half, the "Feaster-watch" was what provided the game's entertainment. The Chester, S.C. native entered the contest needing 17 points to reach the milestone.
And by the time she had scored 10 of the team's first 18 points, the buzz was back in Lavietes. The magical bucket came when a steal by Feaster--one of seven she had in the game--ignited a mini-break by Feaster and senior guard Alison Seanor. The two namesakes tore through the lane on a two-on-one, and Seanor passed up a lay-up to give Feaster her moment.
"Alison Seanor puts it right in my hands under the basket," Feaster said. "It's easy to score from there."
The crowd erupted in a standing ovation, and the referees halted the game at the next dead ball as Feaster was presented a bouquet of flowers and a shower of hugs by her teammates.
"I'm so proud to be her teammate," Miller said. "I've played with some great players--some are playing at the University of Connecticut, Division I, all over the place--and she's still the best player I've ever played with and probably ever will. I've never seen someone stronger, faster, quicker, with better skills--never."
Feaster's score gave Harvard a nine-point lead, 34-25. Part of the Crimson's dominance against the Mountain Hawks resulted from a lack of turnovers. Even though starting point guard Megan Basil played just seven minutes due to the flu, Harvard turned the ball over just 11 times all game, and thrice in the first half.
No Harvard player had more than two turnovers, a pleasant surprise coming from a team fresh off a two-week-plus break that entered the game averaging over 20 turnovers per game.
"[Basil] is sick, but that just shows how deep we are," Feaster said. "I think we're on a mission. We know what we can do and we know we can make it to the tournament and possibly win the first game. I don't want to overlook anyone, but that's our goal."
The performance against Lehigh should be a confidence booster entering this weekend's Ivy games against Brown and Yale. Harvard's 4-0 record leads the league, but Brown boasts two of the league's top players in senior Liz Turner and junior Vita Redding.
But if there was any question before, there can be no more doubt as to who is the cream of the crop in the Ivies. Harvard has won 29 consecutive Ancient Eight contests, and Feaster is now the league's all-time scoring leader.
And the milestone parade does not end here for Feaster. She is just 51 points shy of 2,000 for her career, which would put her in an Ivy basketball club whose only current member is NBA Hall of Famer and Princeton alum Bill Bradley.
"I don't know if I'm in the category of someone like Bill Bradley, but it's a definite honor," Feaster said.
By now honors are just another day at the office for Feaster and her teammates.
