Nothing but net.
Peljto's three-pointer tied the game at 53 and after a last second shot by Yale fell short, the game headed into overtime.
Harvard would get the first bucket of the extra period, but that would be its last lead of the game. With the help of key offensive rebounds, Yale went on a 15-4 run and never looked back.
"Yale just had the momentum tonight--it seemed the ball was bouncing their way," said junior forward Katie Gates.
A bright spot in the loss for the Crimson was the play of freshmen Hana Peljto, Jen Lee and Tricia Tubridy. All three were on the court for most of the final two minutes of regulation.
Peljto scored 12 of the Crimson's first 14 points in the opening half and paced all scorers for a game and career-high 27 points.
"I just found myself open," Peljto said. "My teammates were giving me the ball in good positions."
Lee came up with key steals defensively and both she and Tubridy netted 8 points in the defeat.
