Harvard’s game against the Aggies (2-4, 0-0 MEAC) was as tightly contested as Saturday’s, but a late free throw from Raster helped the Crimson seal a 64-60 victory and a third-place finish in the tournament.

Boehm scored a game-high nineteen points on 9-15 shooting, one short of her career high, chipping in five rebounds and three assists. Boehm scored ten of her points in the first half, and Harvard never trailed after her layup tied the score at seven, five minutes into the first quarter.

“I was able to get a bunch of easy baskets when our team got out in transition,” Boehm said of her performance Sunday. “My teammates did a great job of getting me the ball in the post, I had some amazing passes from all of the guards.”

Although the Crimson led for the majority of the game, NC A&T narrowed the deficit late in the game. The Aggies committed only 13 turnovers to Harvard’s 21, and they were able to hang around in large part due to the Crimson’s struggles at the free throw stripe, only converting on 43% of the team’s chances from the line.

Benzan played another strong game for Harvard, recording 12 points, seven rebounds, and five assists against NC A&T. The Wellesley, Mass., native was named to the Cavalier Classic All-Tournament team following Sunday’s win over the Aggies.

Although the Crimson came a basket short of playing in Sunday’s final, the weekend was still a promising road trip for a team looking to convert early season success into its first Ivy League title in 10 seasons.

“It was definitely encouraging to contend against a good ACC team and to beat NC A&T,” Benzan said. “But it also showed us how good we can be if we control turnovers and offensive rebounds. We have so much room to improve.”
