Last time against the Bears, Johnson grabbed 17 rebounds and scored 15 points while matched-up against McDonald. Melissa Johnson will likely be replaced by her freshman sister, Sarah, in the starting lineup.
Another interesting matchup will be Courtney Egelhoff guarding her freshman sister, Heidi, a guard for Brown. Egelhoff said she wasn't sure if she would be matched up against her sister.
The Bulldogs are leading the second tier of Ivy League teams and are looking to crack the Dartmouth-Harvard-Penn stronghold. Yale's only league losses have come against those top three.
Against Yale in its first meeting, the Crimson dominated the Bulldogs, led by Monti's school-record 14 assists.
The Crimson also saw two players record double-doubles. Captain Laela Sturdy scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Johnson had 18 boards to go along with 12 points. Egelhoff notched 18 points.
Yale was led by Maria Smear, a 5'11 freshman guard, in the first meeting between the traditional rivals. Smear scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting.
"Maria is a really good shooter from the outside and she is a good penetrator," Egelhoff said. "They have a lot of good kids who can penetrate. They're pretty talented."
Three other Bulldogs scored in double figures, including junior center Lily Glick, who tallied 15.
