Sarah Johnson played just 11 minutes, but picked up nine points and four rebounds and only missed one shot on the day.
Sophomore guard Jenn Monti, still a bit hobbled by her ankle, added to her Ivy-leading total with five assists. She scored six points.
The Crimson youth helped ensure that the seniors' last game would be one worth remembering.
"What I wanted from them tonight, was to see what they were made of," Harvard Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. "Could they do it for Laela and Courtney, who have given so much to the program?"
Since hitting the game-winning shot against Princeton on Feb. 25, Egelhoff had struggled a bit shooting the ball. But she broke out of her slump, hitting three treys on the day, to finish with nine points.
Sturdy scored 15 points, including a three-pointer on the 9-0 Harvard run in the first half. Sturdy has been the most consistent Crimson player this year.
With 48 seconds left, Delaney-Smith pulled Sturdy and Egelhoff from the game, and the seniors got the applause from the crowd that they deserved.
"I thought they both played like seniors," Delaney-Smith said. "Laela had a great weekend. Courtney once again hit some big threes. She was a real important part of this win."
