“I think the big difference in us today and us in every other game we’ve played is that we finally executed our offense, so it was a good day,” Delaney-Smith said.

After going up by eight with three minutes left in the fourth, the Crimson struggled to keep the lead in the closing minutes of the match. After a long three and two layups, Toledo found itself within four, but never managed to close the gap as Harvard shot 5-for-7 from the line in the last three minutes.

After rotating in three freshman at the guard spot throughout the first three games of the season, Delaney-Smith started freshman Madeline Raster and Nani Redford at the one and two spots on Sunday.

“They were defensive decisions to be honest. We wanted to start with a strong defensive statement and both Murphs and Nani are very strong defenders, athletically and otherwise,” Delaney-Smith said.“It worked out, Nani can get in your head, she was probably very bothersome to the opposing point guard.”

Four of the Crimsons starters scored in double digits on Sunday. Again, Healy led the squad with 20 and Raster scored a season high 16 with four rebounds and three assists.
