After a foul on the other side of the court and Dartmouth over the foul limit, sophomore Victoria Lippert went to the line and converted both of her free throws with 1:27 left to play to extend a lead that the Big Green couldn’t overcome.

“We toughed it out and we did what we had to do to win,” junior Brogan Berry said.

The point guard had a solid all-around game, contributing 17 points with seven rebounds and four assists while adding three steals.

The visiting team’s 33.3 field-goal percentage edged out Dartmouth’s 29.5-percent shooting, but Harvard was outrebounded, 45-44.

The season comes to an end for a Crimson senior class that had aspirations of winning its second Ivy League Championship after bringing the title home its freshman year. Though the team ended up in the second spot for the third consecutive year, the seniors have high hopes for what is yet to come.

“As last words go for the team, just work hard, be disciplined, and enjoy every moment, because the four years go by so quickly,” Matera said.

“It was an experience that I won’t ever be able to replicate,” Markley added. “We’ve got a lot of talent and leadership returning ... We also have an incredible recruiting class coming in. I think next year the team can learn from our experiences this season and only grow from there.”
