"We did a great job to get into overtime," Delaney-Smith said. "But this is a bad loss. We looked tired and [Yale] was making the extra pass offensively. They played well."
Fatigue may have been a contributing factor in Harvard's poor shooting percentage and its failure to control the glass. The Crimson finished at just under 33 percent from the field and was out rebounded 43-39 by the Elis.
"We were a little tired from last night," Peljto said.
Harvard 65, Brown 48
Tubridy started the run at about the 14-minute mark, knocking down two jumps shots for four of her 12 points on the night. After a free throw by senior guard Carrie Larkworthy, Peljto would lengthen the lead with a lay-up and a three-pointer for five of her game-high 19 points to extend Harvard's lead to 20-9 with just over 11 minutes remaining in the half.
Brown made a run of its own before the half was out. After a layup by freshman center Miranda Craigwell, Harvard's lead was cut to just four.
But following a time out called by Delaney-Smith, her troops regrouped, and after a three-pointer by Gates and four straight free throws by Lee, the Crimson took a 36-28 lead into halftime.
