Big Green Upsets W. Hoops, 78-67 in Ivy Finale

Loss may lower Crimson's seed in NCAA Tournament

Harvard senior Alison Seanor responded with a three-point play, but Lippe did the same at the other end of the floor and then knocked down a jumper to put Dartmouth ahead for the duration. Tortolani then hit a jumper of her own, and Berdinka sliced through the lane for a deuce to increase the Big Green's lead to 47-42.

The Crimson pulled to within a bucket on a free throw by sophomore forward Laela Sturdy and a lay-up by junior forward Sarah Russell with 13:10 remaining in the second half, but Dartmouth then scored six unanswered points over the next two minutes and controlled the game the rest of the way.

Notes

The NCAA Tournament selection show will air this Sunday evening on ESPN. The men's seeds will be announced at 6:30 p.m with the women's immediately following at 7:00 p.m.

In the run for the national scoring title, Feaster closed out the season averaging 28.2 points per game. The national scoring champion will be determined after all conference tournaments are completed later this week.

Feaster broke the 300 mark in career steals with her outstanding defensive performance. She now has 303 steals in her career.

Harvard sophomore forward Laela Sturdy went down early in the second half with an injury to her knee. Preliminary indications were that she tore her medial collateral ligament, but a confirmed diagnosis will be available today.

Harvard's five seniors will graduate with a four-year Ivy League record of 50-6. They are the winningest class in Harvard basketball history, men's or women's.
