Cserny finished the night with 16 points and 10 boards, her second double-double of the season, while Peljto led all scorers with 17 points.

“It was a great team effort,” Moore said. “We played good team defense and shut down Katharine Hanks. Overall, everyone felt great about the game.”

Moore did not score in the second half and finished with 10 points. Tubridy also reached double figures, tallying 10 points on 3-of-6 shooting, including two three-pointers.

“We’re not looking for any one player to step up,” Delaney-Smith said. “What we have to understand is how the world is going to play us because of Hana and Reka. If we make the extra pass, someone will eventually drain a three.”

The Crimson has been struggling with 20-plus turnovers a game, but improved against Dartmouth, only committing 14.

Losses—each over 23 points—to nationally-ranked Vanderbilt, Minnesota and Boston College and a disappointing 79-40 defeat at Rutgers earlier this season indicate that there is still room for improvement.

However, a strong Ivy League campaign will lead to increased confidence and, more importantly, another Ancient Eight championship and the accompanying automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
