The Crimson was simply undersized and overmatched against the Lady Monarchs (4-5), falling 83-55 on Dec. 22.

Old Dominion—which has won 13 consecutive Colonial Athletic Association titles and went to the Final Four three seasons ago—dominated defensively and on the boards.

On the night, Harvard was held to a season-low 26 percent shooting and was out-rebounded 58 to 25.

Cserny shot just 7-of-22 from the field, but scored a game-high 32 points, one off her career-high, thanks to her school-record 15 free throws on 20 attempts. Playing all 40 minutes, she also corralled eight rebounds.

Leading 45-24 at intermission, Old Dominion was in control for most of the contest. Throwing a bevy of players with size at the Crimson, the Lady Monarchs outscored Harvard 34-6 in the paint, and turned their 19 offensive rebounds into 20 second-chance points.

The Lady Monarchs shot 50 percent each half, and the closest the Crimson got in the second half was 16 at 56-40.

Holsey and junior guard Laura Robinson each had seven points.
