Dressing only nine players, including two walk-ons, URI broke down in the second half as the Crimson kept the tempo above the Rams' preferred level.
"I think the only way they could even stay with us was to take chances and to pressure us," Delaney-Smith said. "We tried to make too long passes. We have to work on our passing. I don't think it's because we can't pass, I think it's because we can't relax."
Monti finished the game with 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting and dished out nine assists in 28 minutes, although all of her scoring came in the second half.
"I think one thing that happened was that Jenn Monti played two different games," Delaney-Smith said. "She changed her game when she got angry. I think this team relies on the point guard to set the tone and I think Jenn's tone in the first half was not good."
Guard Colleen Mullen was the only Ram in double figures, putting the ball up often, but hitting little. She finished with 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting.
Despite its 19 turnovers on the game, the Crimson shot well, hitting 52.7 percent from the field and going 6-of-12 from the three-point line. Harvard also hit 19 of its 21 free throws.
