...first action since the Ivy opener against Dartmouth on Jan. 7. Holsey, the Crimson’s returning leading scorer from last season, has been benched with various maladies, including an injury to her shooting hand and the lingering effects of a concussion incurred during intersession. Holsey played just six minutes, but the brief flashes of her ability were enough to demonstrate just what Harvard had missed in the eight conference games the team played without her. In those six minutes, Holsey amassed three big assists and a steal and was critical to the Crimson’s first-half...
...basketball team forced Tigers star Becky Brown into a bad decision. Brown’s turnover on the game’s opening possession nonetheless proved to be one of her few miscues on Friday, as the 6’3 center decimated the Crimson defense with 23 first-half points en route to Princeton’s 70-55 win at Jadwin Gym. “If one player scores 23 points in the first half, that’s what’s going to hurt you, no matter who else is out there,” sophomore...
...hard-fought road win in Philadelphia. Harvard shot 71 percent from the field in the second half to overcome a seven-point halftime deficit and down the Quakers 77-65 at the Palestra.

...forward, Jeomi Maduka, to only six points. Maduka scored 11 in the first half for a team-high total of 17 points. The Crimson completed the first half with a 41-33 lead, led mainly by Robinson, who tallied 17 of her 23 points in the first half. The senior guard shot 100 percent (4-4) from behind the arc in the first frame, helping her team achieve a blazing 80 percent mark on three-pointers for the half. The Big Red was only 1-of-6 on first-half threes. Robinson showcased her leadership and playmaking abilities during...
...weren’t really expecting it. I think we played well at the end. It was really exciting, but they got lucky.” Robinson had frustrated Hayes into off-balance shots almost all night, holding arguably the league’s most explosive player to four first-half points. But Hayes, an acrobatic offensive rebounder with an uncanny finishing ability for a guard, posted 12 second-half points—including seven points, two offensive rebounds, and a steal in the frantic final five minutes. After a sluggish first half, the Crimson claimed its first lead...
