Both No. 4 Cornell and No. 11 Colgate, with whom the Crimson is jockeying for position atop the conference standings, swept their respective series this weekend, negating Harvard’s four-point showing and all but locking up the top seed for the Big Red.
Cornell learned early on about the hot streak Harvard women’s basketball captain Reka Cserny has been riding since the beginning of Ivy League play. In January, the 6’3 Crimson center torched the Big Red for 30 points and 10 rebounds at Lavietes Pavilion.
On Saturday night, a second meeting with Cserny proved similarly frustrating for the lowly Big Red (2-21, 0-10 Ivy). Cserny lit up Cornell for 22 points—including 15 on 6-of-6 shooting in the first half—en route to a 70-60 road...
“Cornell didn’t have any posts, so we tried to go inside a lot,” Cserny said. “Whoever was on the court in their forward position, we were confident we could shoot over them.”
Against Cornell, guards Jess Holsey and Katie Murphy combined for half of those, each finishing the evening with five steals. Since last weekend’s loss to Brown, Harvard has recorded 50 steals in three consecutive victories.
