"I was probably pretty angry at halftime," Delaney-Smith said. "They're not relaxed. They look to the coaches to relax them instead of each other. I told them we were outrebounded at halftime because I thought being even with them was being outrebounded by a very short team."
"She yelled at us for not being ready to play," Egelhoff said.
The players clearly got the message.
The Crimson turned the defensive pressure up a notch to open the second half.
In the first minute, the Crimson held the Rams to a shot clock violation and increased its lead to 10 in the second minute when captain Laela Sturdy put back a rebound for two of her six points.
At 11:40, the Harvard lead was still at 10, 50-40. But then the Crimson came on strong as junior center Melissa Johnson, Sarah's sister, took a pass from sophomore guard Laura Barnard and put it in for two to start a 9-0 run.
Egelhoff pushed the lead to 73-46 with 5:24 left on a three-pointer from the left corner. She finished with 11 points on the night, shooting 3-of-5 from three-point land.
The Rams cut the lead to 20 with 2:39 left in the game, but that would be as close as they would get the rest of the way.
