Even still, the Quakers will be confronted with no small task this coming weekend when it faces Yale and Brown.
Yale (10-15, 6-6), who split this past weekend with Columbia and Cornell, will enter its contest against Penn with the league's best defense. The Bulldogs are holding opponents to just 65.2 ppg.
Led by Maria Smear, the league's best three-point shooter, and Kelly Denit, who tops the conference in assists, Yale is fully capable of mustering a win.
Brown (8-18, 3-9), meanwhile, is coming off its best weekend of the season. The Bears defeated Cornell 70-64 on Friday and then proceeded to upstage Columbia 70-65 the following day.
Furthermore, the Bears have already established themselves as giant-killers with their upset of the Crimson earlier this month, the team's first league win.
Upsets are one thing Harvard needs to avoid this weekend.
Harvard has lately been forced to make due in spite of injuries to three of its regular starters, junior forward Katie Gates, junior center Melissa Johnson and Monti.
