Even though the Bears pose a greater challenge than the Bulldogs, the Crimson outmatches both teams handily on paper. Much taller than most of the other teams in the nation, Harvard should be able to outrebound the much smaller Yale and Brown.
"We know that we have a size advantage over [both teams], and there should definitely be some good player match-ups," Monti said.
With Delaney-Smith earning her 150th career victory last Friday against Dartmouth, the Crimson seems to be on an upward swing, silencing preseason naysayers who had predicted a fourth-place finish in the league for Harvard.
If the same team who trounced Dartmouth last weekend shows up to play this weekend at Lavietes Pavillion, Harvard may end up silencing those preseason critics for the rest of the year.
