W. Cagers Begin Ivy Home Stretch

"We've had several good games in a row", Feaster said. "I think we're preparing for the next level."

With 1,949 career points and 1,007 career rebounds, the All-American is only 51 points away from becoming the first woman in Ivy League history to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career. She may very well accomplish the feat this weekend.

Harvard is also enjoying hot shooting of late by guards Suzie Miller and Sarah Brandt. The pair combined to hit seven of nine three-pointers against Lehigh.

The Crimson's shooting attack will be even stronger with Basil back in the lineup. Harvard's floor general has suffered through the flu the entire week and saw very limited action on Monday.

"I'm feeling great," Basil said. "I had a great practice [yesterday], and I'm psyched to play."

Basil's presence not only means an added shooting threat on the perimeter, it will also spark the Crimson's defense up front. Basil and fellow senior Alison Seanor spearhead a Harvard defense that averages better than 11 steals per game.

Harvard has started to play its best basketball at the perfect moment. If the Crimson continues its combination of plentiful scoring and stifling defense, neither Brown nor Yale nor any other Ivy team seems likely to spoil Harvard's run at a threepeat.
