Harvard actually shot better from three-point range--30 percent--than from inside--just 23 percent.
The Trojans, in contrast, shot 52 percent overall. Harvard took 42 shots in the second half, exactly twice as many as UALR, but scored just two more points.
Eight minutes into the matchup, the Crimson was rolling with an 18-9 lead, but then a scoring draught began during which Harvard did not manage a field goal for 11 minutes.
The Arkansas lead peaked at 43-28 four minutes into the second half, then the Crimson comeback began.
"Our intensity picked up when we fell behind," Peljto said. "Everyone picked up their game."
Peljto led Harvard with a career-high 26 points off the bench, and a game-high 10 rebounds--eight offensive. She shot 10-for-23 from the floor and 4-for-6 behind the arc. Tubridy was right behind her with 12 points and six rebounds.
"Harvard came out ready to go, and their intensity level was way up," UALR Coach Tracy Stewart-Lange said. "We were rocking back on our heels and they were getting offensive rebounds right and left."
