"Hana is on her way to a great career because she is multi-dimensional," Delaney-Smith said. "You can't stop her."
Hanks scored 18 to lead her team. Those points included a three-point shot from just inside half-court as the first-half buzzer sounded.
Junior forward Katie Gates was Harvard's next leading-scorer off the bench, scoring 15 points including four threes, all of which came at key moments of the game. Had she connected on some feeds underneath from junior guard Jenn Monti, she would have achieved a career-high point total.
Monti, meanwhile, had a game-best eight assists.
The Crimson shot 9-of-20 from three-point range. Two of the biggest treys came from junior guard Laura Barnard, who hit back-to-back threes for the Crimson to turn a 24-22 deficit into a 28-24 lead. Harvard would never trail for the rest of the night.
Out of 12 players who took the court for Harvard, the only four who failed to make the scoreboard were the seniors.
"Our senior class has had a rocky road," Delaney-Smith said. "They were certainly not short on effort this year."
