The Crimson's most impressive basketball came immediately before and after the first half, when Harvard used a 16-2 run to break the game open.
Ides got the run going with a layup and a pair of free throws. She scored 10 of her 13 points in the minutes before the end of the half.
Freshman guard Jennifer Lee helped ignite the Crimson transition game with some quick movement up the floor and a long pass to Katie Gates, who drained a shot to put Harvard up 22-17.
Even when the Crimson missed its shots during the scoring run, the ball bounced its way.
At one point freshman guard Bree Kelley missed a shot and Pejlto mishandled the rebound, but the ball popped right into the hands of Ides for an easy score.
At the outset of the second half, the Harvard offense was all Peljto in the transition game. She scored the period's first six points as Harvard went ahead 32-19.
