BIG GREEN PLAYING BIG
Dartmouth guard Angie Soriaga and forward Krista Perry put in huge efforts for their squad. Soriaga was stellar on offense, leading all scorers with 22 points. She was especially deadly in the first half, when she poured in 16 to put Dartmouth up 12 at the intermission.
“She played really well,” Cserny said. “Even when we covered her, and we were on her, she hit her shots. There wasn’t really anything else we could’ve done, I guess.”
Perry had the unenviable task of guarding Ivy Player of the Year Cserny, a job which she found manageable.
“Krista Perry is a remarkable defender and she’s very much the heart of the team,” Dartmouth coach Chris Wielgus said. “She had the assignment to defend Reka and she knows how to defend her...We wouldn’t have been able to do anything without her.”
Cserny, who was averaging 21 points per game this year was limited to 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting.
“What Krista Perry does is flail,” Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “She didn’t get any of the calls but, you know, that bothered Reka. Took her out of her...and so hats off to Krista. She did a really nice job.”
