Brown was unable to penetrate the Harvard perimeter defense for much of the first half, settling for tough long-range jumpers and three-pointers that often missed their mark. The Bears shot at just 29 percent before halftime while the Crimson hit 76 percent of its shots.

Harvard jumped out to an early 12-0 lead less than four minutes into the game, causing Brown coach Jean Marie Burr to pull the entire starting lineup from the floor. The Bears bench did not fare much better—it finally put points on the board but was still unable to stop the Crimson’s hot shooting as the game quickly become one of catch-up for the home team.

“We jumped out to a pretty quick lead, but I think the challenge at Brown was to maintain that defensive consistency and I think that came in big at Yale,” Clark said.

Back-to-back treys from Brown guards Lauren Clarke and Sophie Bikofsky pulled the Bears within 13, but Evans countered with her own three, and Brown would never close the gap any further. Only three Brown players managed to score more than two points in the first half on Harvard’s stingy defense. The Bears shot at 46 percent after halftime, but the Crimson never let off the gas pedal, tallying its first 90-point-plus game since Nov. 2013.

Clark led the team with 19 points on 7-for-11 shooting while sophomore guard Kit Metoyer nearly doubled her previous season high, recording 17 points, including five buckets from downtown.
