Monti led the Crimson with 15 points, just one short of the career high she set against Boston University on Jan. 2. Kelley had her best game in a long time, scoring 12 points, including three three-pointers to lead the team.
Once again against Yale, Harvard shot better from outside the arc (4-of-12) in the second half than inside (4-of-16). The Crimson also pulled that feat in a loss against Arkansas-Little Rock in December.
There was a remarkable variance in Harvard's scoring distribution on the weekend. Against Yale, the guards Monti and Kelley outscored the forwards Gates and Tubridy, 27-6. Against Brown, Gates and Tubridy outscored Monti and Kelley, 25-6.
Sophomore center Sarah Johnson played nine minutes in the second half against Yale. She had missed Harvard's previous two games due to heart palpitations.
"Sarah Johnson played great [against Yale]," Delaney-Smith said. "She was a monster last night. Her stats were decent, but she just did a nice job last night."
The Crimson now enters a 16-day layoff for exams. Harvard will play a warm-up game at SUNY-Albany before resuming its Ivy schedule at home against Cornell on Feb. 2.
