With the loss to the Tigers the only blemish on the Crimson’s Ivy record, Harvard is more than ready to try again.

“We can’t wait to play Princeton,” Tubridy said. “I don’t think there’s going to be any lack of emotion or intensity in that game.”

But first, the Crimson faces a team that is also out to avenge a loss. Penn treks to Lavietes on a three-game win streak. The Quakers defeated Columbia on Feb. 2 and swept Yale and Brown last weekend, pushing themselves into third place in the Ivy standings. Though Penn wasn’t much trouble in round one when the Crimson soundly beat the Quakers 76-56 on Jan. 12, there might be more of a fight in round two.

“In our last game against Penn we actually played very well,” Tubridy said. “They didn’t play so well.”

The Quakers’ arsenal includes sophomore Jewel Clark, named to this week’s Ivy honor roll. Clark was the leading scorer in Penn’s last two games, tallying 18 points over Yale and 26 against Brown. Clark leads the team in points with 16.8 a game. She also leads the team in rebounds with 9.7 rpg, steals, blocks and free throw percentage.

Freshman Katie Kilker earned Ivy Rookie of the Week accolades after posting a double-double against Brown with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Kilker also scored 15 points and gathered four boards against Yale.

Harvard faces a rising Penn squad, as the Quakers have averaged 79.3 ppg during their winning streak, significantly better than the season average of 65.9.

“I think they’re going to come out a little more deliberate in their decision-making,” Tubridy said.

Harvard’s game against Penn begins tonight at 6 p.m. at Lavietes, and Princeton will hit the court tomorrow night at 6 p.m.
