After the game, Delaney-Smith was blunt about the team’s play.
“Horrible, [I’m] very disappointed in them,” said Delaney-Smith of the squad’s performance. “They were too inconsistent, too schizophrenic, too undisciplined ... just some uncharacteristic play from us.”
The game’s lone bright spot may have been Berry, whose 19 points pushed her past Elizabeth Proudfit ’96 and into 12th place all-time in points scored in Harvard history with 1,116.
“At a time like this, it’s hard to celebrate those milestones, because I’m focusing on getting the team better and getting the team the first win of the season,” Berry said. “But it’s definitely an honor, and it says a lot to my coaches of the last three years and my teammates who helped me achieve that goal.”
Berry’s next chance to help the team win its first game will come in the Crimson’s home opener Tuesday.
“We have what it takes this year to be a great team and win a lot of ball games,” Berry said. “But today, we didn’t put all the aspects together. It showed on the court. We have a lot of room for improvement for the rest of the season.”
