The Crimson played without one starter in the game. Sophomore forward Katie Gates, who suffered a concussion the night before against Yale, was in street clothes Saturday. She was replaced by freshman guard Bree Kelley.
Harvard 93, Yale 77
The Crimson, with probably the tallest lineup in the Ivy League, outrebounded Yale, 46-24, in what was indicative of a lopsided game.
"Our starting five played really well together," Egelhoff said. "It was good team basketball."
Sturdy led the Crimson with 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Johnson had another big game under the glass, tying her personal best of 18.
Monti, whose record came against a tough defender in Yale sophomore guard Jamie Riposta, controlled the point for 36 minutes, hardly ever slowing the tempo down.
The Crimson worked the first half steadily in its favor. Never leading by more than 13, Harvard went into the locker room with a 42-31 lead.
