"I thought Yale's frontcourt was really nice, but they initiated a lot of calls and we didn't get a lot of those calls," Delaney-Smith said.

Brown 75, Harvard 56

Brown, which had had close losses to several Ivy opponents but could never quite get over the hump, finally pulled off an upset, beating Harvard on Friday at the Pizzitola Center in Providence, R.I.

From the beginning, the Bears showed that they were worth worrying about. Although with six minutes gone by and the score at just 7-7, the Brown full-court press was already starting to shake Harvard's confidence.

By 5:47, Brown had an 18-14 lead and the Crimson was wondering what had happened. But Harvard soon found an answer as Sturdy and Egelhoff both hit three-pointers from the left side to give Harvard a 20-18 edge. Harvard would go into halftime with a 26-24 margin.

But in the second half, it didn't take long for the Bears to get going. After Harvard extended its lead to 33-28, Brown went on an 18-3 run, sparked by Bear sophomore guard Rada Pavichevich, who hit two three-pointers and blocked one by Harvard sophomore forward Katie Gates. The Crimson would never recover fully from the 46-36 Brown lead.

Pavichevich, who was in street clothes in the two teams' first meeting, finished with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc.

Freshman guard Bree Kelley cut the margin to 50-43 on a hook with 8:52 to go, but it would be the closest Harvard would come.
