For Coach Delaney-Smith and the Crimson squad, Berry’s performance and leadership was a high point for the game and season.
“[Berry] is probably the best point guard I’ve ever coached, even as just a sophomore,” Delaney-Smith said. “She’s leading a team that’s still being created...and she’s just terrific in every regard.”
Berry is currently leading the Ivy League in average assists with 7.3 per game and had a game-high eight dishes against Northeastern.
The victory over the Huskies is the last game for Harvard before the 20-day break that precedes the final push towards the conference season.
“I definitely think it’s very helpful to go out on a win,” Berry said. “Now we can take this win, and have the chance to go into our break and work on the things we need to work on.”
