Although Harvard was led by a trifecta of veterans, it received contributions from the entire squad, with each player seeing at least 10 minutes of action and scoring a field goal.
Junior forward Tricia Tubridy just missed a double-double with eight points and 10 rebounds. The Crimson backcourt also made notable contributions, as sophomore Rochelle Bell, freshman Jessica Holsey and sophomore Katie Murphy all had solid games.
“Everybody on the team got into it tonight and there was no drop-off,” Delaney-Smith said. “We have a bench full of weapons that I don’t hesitate to put out there.”
After proving that its arsenal is potent from top to bottom, Delaney-Smith cautioned the team about being overconfident after its big win, commenting on the “competitiveness” of the conference.
“In the Ivy League there are so many close games,” Delaney-Smith said. “So a lot of teams think we’re beatable. Hopefully tonight will scare them.”
