Harvard closed out the win, making BU the second local rival that the Crimson has beaten this season. The squad upset Boston College, 82-81, in its first game.
“This was such a good win,” Wheeler said.
“We’re trying to beat all the Boston teams and prove ourselves to be the best in area.”
But even in victory, Delaney-Smith was less than satisfied with her team’s performance.
“I guess if I look at the overall picture, a win is always good,” Delaney-Smith said.
“I would’ve thought we were closer to establishing an identity as a team but, after this game, I’m a little disappointed.”
Harvard is now 4-0 at home this season and has the chance to oust yet another Boston foe, Northeastern, on Wednesday in its final game before reading period.
