Crimson Troupe newcomers Kate Ides and Sarah Johnson will be onstage, however, after injuries last month took them out of commission for a few performances.
"We can go all 15 players deep," said junior guard Lisa Kowal. "It's just a question of who's healthy and who's tired."
Penn's leading five should see considerable stage time, but Melissa Johnson doesn't want to downplay the importance of The Quaker Players' supporting cast.
"The rest of the players on their team aren't bad," Johnson said. "They have a lot of solid supporting players."
Caramanico, however, easily has the lead role. The five-time Ivy League Player of the Week already this season scored 38 points in a Tony-caliber performance last weekend against Yale. The next night, she gave an encore performance against Brown to the tune of 20 points and eight steals.
Harvard will pay strong attention to the Penn lead, trying different strategies to upstage Caramanico.
"I think that we'll probably be mixing it up," Johnson said. "I think that Kathy will have me focusing definitely on her. There is a strong chance that we will mix it up."
