Two wins will put Penn in control for the remainder of the year, but a loss in either game will leave the Quakers in need of some help.

The good news for Harvard is that Penn has struggled in its recent Saturday games--an 89-71 thrashing at the hands of Dartmouth, and a shocking 70-67 upset by Columbia.

"I don't think Penn is terribly deep," Delaney Smith said.

But the Quaker veteran starters are as talented as any in the Ivy League. Junior Diana Caramanico is the No. 2 scorer in the nation, the league's top rebounder and Penn's all-time-leading scorer as off last week. However, she struggled last week against Columbia, and Ides did a superb job defending the forward when they last met.

Sophomore Julie Epton has been a defensive force this season. She is the Quaker's top rebounder and shot-blocker after Caramanico.

The key matchup in this game pits Monti against Penn senior Mandy West. The two had some heated exchanges in their last meeting.

"She threw the ball at me or something," said Monti after the earlier game. "So I sort of gave her [a slap], and that was the end of it."

More importantly, however, Monti and West are the crunch-time players. With Penn trailing 74-73, West hit a 3-pointer with 1:03 left to put the Quakers up two. When Monti was the given the ball with 18 seconds left, she failed to find her shot.
