W. Hoops Lose Monti, Split Away at Penn, Princeton

Harvard still tied for second in Ivy with Penn

The Crimson chances of victory looked bleak, since Harvard had not scored a single field goal in nine minutes.

But with its season effectively on the line, Harvard came through. After passing the ball around repeatedly up top, absolutely nothing opened up inside. Then with 36.4 seconds left and the shot clock winding down, Egelhoff had an open look at the basket a few feet back of the three-point line.

Figuring it was her team's best chance, she threw up the shot, hitting nothing but net and giving the Crimson a 44-43 lead.

On its next possession, the Tigers, as usual, looked to set up an open three or a backdoor cut, but the Crimson allowed nothing. Hillary Reser attempted a long three, but it was well off, and Egelhoff was the hero once again securing the long rebound, and before being fouled.

Over the next three seconds of playing time, Princeton fouled Harvard four more times in order to force the one-in-one. On the last foul, it was Kelley who was sent to the line.

Completely oblivious to the hostile Tiger crowd full of obnoxious, screaming grade-schoolers, Kelley drained the first shot.

She missed the second, but Sturdy managed to get the rebound. But when Sturdy was sent to the line, she missed her shot, and the Tigers got the rebound in traffic.
