The next day, Banghart kept Brown from repeating any of the upset magic that stunned the Crimson. She scored 28 points and hit six 3-pointers to lead the Big Green in an 85-54 win.
Junior forward Stephanie Kinnear has also stepped up her play for the Big Green. Against Yale she had a career high 12 assists. In wins over Penn and Princeton during the previous weekend, she put together 17 assists, while committing only one turnover.
Freshman center Katherine Hanks has quietly been the most consistent performer for Dartmouth. She is the Big Green's No. 2 scorer (14.9 ppg) and No. 1 rebounder (7.1 rpg). The Crimson will have to once again contain her when it heads to Dartmouth for the season finale.
The Quakers (16-7, 7-2) were in the driver's seat after a 78-76 win over Harvard on Feb. 11 made them the only unbeaten Ivy team. But Penn has struggled in its three games since then. Completely drained from the game against the Crimson, Penn was sloppy against Dartmouth the following night, committing 26 turnovers in an 89-71 loss.
Then last Friday, Penn came out completely flat on the road against Cornell, falling behind 17-4 early. But as usual, tri-captains Mandy West and junior Diana Caramanico, the two leading scorers in the Ivy League, led the comeback.
West scored 23, and Caramanico added 21 to lead the Quakers to a 74-65 victory. Caramanico's points were enough to break the school's career-scoring record, in only her junior year.
The next day at Columbia, however, Caramanico was cold. She shot just 4-of-17 on the day. Still, sophomore forward Julie Epton and West managed to pick up some of the slack, and Penn led the game all the way up until the last three minutes.
