Riding a four game-winning streak, the Harvard women’s basketball team will look to carry its momentum into this weekend as it returns home with the opportunity to move into first place in the Ivy League.

The Crimson (13-5, 4-1 Ivy) faces a consistently tough league foe in Columbia (9-9, 3-3 Ivy) on tonight, before taking on first-place Cornell (11-8, 5-1 Ivy) tomorrow.

Harvard will be playing at home for the first time since Jan. 5, when the Crimson treated its biggest home crowd of the year to an 88-77 victory over Dartmouth. At 5-1, Harvard holds the best home record in the league.

“It’s definitely nice to be back at home,” senior guard Jenn Monti said.

The Crimson will be at the friendly confines of Lavietes Pavilion for its next four games.

“We have a lot of confidence playing at home, especially after winning three of four tough Ivy games on the road,” co-captain Katie Gates said.

On the road last weekend, the Crimson overcame slow starts in each of its games to record, 63-51, and 61-57, victories over Brown and Yale respectively.

“Brown really collapsed on the post with [freshman forward] Reka [Cserny] being out, and that took us out of our game in the first half,” Monti said.

Harvard was able to adjust however, and bounced back from a dismal 19-point first-half performance to shoot a scintillating 56 percent from the field in the second half.

Also contributing to the victory was the fact that for the first time this season, someone other than sophomore forward Hana Peljto and Cserny led the Crimson in scoring.

Monti recorded a career-high 18 points while contributing six assists. Monti leads the league with an average of 6.8 assists per game.

In last Saturday’s game against Yale, Monti scored the Crimson’s final four points to seal the victory after Peljto added a game-high 16 points.

Harvard will need to play complete games and receive contributions from a multitude of players in order to come away with two victories this weekend.

Columbia enters tonight’s contest having split games with Princeton and Penn last weekend. The Lions defeated Princeton by 18 points on Friday before suffering an 80-84 overtime loss to Penn.

Freshman forward Nicole Lesko earned Rookie of the Week honors for averaging 16 points and five boards over the two contests.
