"They played well that game, but we obviously helped them out a lot with the turnovers," junior forward Katie Gates said.

The Bears also managed to cut a 32-point deficit into single digits down the stretch in the team's first meeting of 2000. Harvard has every reason not to underestimate Brown at any stage of tomorrow's game.

"We're focussing mainly on the transition game and boxing out," Gates said. "We're not sure they've been that consistent in their shooting."

In order for the Crimson to win, the team will have to keep its turnover total close to single digits. If Harvard plays with lax ball control like when it committed 28 turnovers against Boston University, Maloni--who is 14th in the country with 3.6 steals per game--is more than capable of making Harvard pay for its mistakes.

A familiar name on the Brown squad belongs to Heidi Egelhoff, younger sister of Courtney Egelhoff '00. One of Brown's most reliable bench players last season, the younger Egelhoff has struggled with limited playing time so far this season.

Yale (4-8, 0-0) is one team that will be especially happy to see that the elder Egelhoff--who burned the Elis for five treys in a single half last year--has moved on. But Harvard still has its fair share of Bulldog-killers left on the team. Junior guard Jenn Monti has always come up big against Yale, dishing out a school-record 16 assists in a game last season, and hitting a buzzer-beating winner during her freshman year.

This season, Yale may have the upper hand in the perimeter game due to its own sharpshooting guard, sophomore Maria Smear, whose 47.5 three-point field goal percentage ranks 13th in the nation. Smear is averaging more than two threes per game.
