Harvard actually held a three-point advantage well into the second half, when Suzie Miller stole the ball near midcourt and converted an easy lay-up to put the Crimson up 40-37 at the 13:54 mark.

But then West took over. First she dribbled unobstructed from the left wing across the lane for a baseline lay-in. Then she nailed a spot-up three-pointer from the top of the key. For her next performance, she hit a jumper in the lane off a Penn break.

West's seven unanswered points came in a span of 36 seconds and gave Penn a four-point advantage. Harvard never held another lead.

With around eight minutes to go, it was as if West tagged partner Caramanico to apply the final pin. The Ivy Player of the Year candidate terrorized the Crimson on the boards and used her long arms to loft foul line jumpers over the Harvard frontcourt.

A Caramanico turnaround in the lane gave Penn its first double-digit lead, 66-56, with 3:09 to play. In boxing lingo, it was a standing eight.

She delivered the TKO when two of her 10 free throw makes gave the Quakers a 16-point advantage with 1:06 left.

"Caramanico wasn't getting her points in their offense," Delaney-Smith said. "She got them on the boards, and she went to the foul line. I didn't like that she picked up so many loose balls, and I don't like that we had to foul her at the end of the game, but other than that I thought defensively we did what we wanted to do. She's that good."

Caramanico scored her 1,000th career point in the first half, in which the Crimson held her to six.
