Harvard (3-2) fell fast and early. The first play after the tip-off, Vanderbilt center Wendy Scholtens scored on a reverse lay-up inside and was fouled. The Crimson had two fouls and a turnover in the first two minutes of the game and trailed, 6-0.
"I think it was a big turnover because what happens sometimes is just all of a sudden you either lose momentum, lose field position, a lot of things can happen when that takes place," Harvard Coach Joe Restic said.
The Crimson committed only one turnover, held Dartmouth to 27 percent shooting from the floor, and shut down forward Liz Walter, last year's Ivy Player of the Year and currently the Green's leading scorer.
The union called Harvard's appeal an anti-union tactic, accusing them of using the delay to take advantage of summer employee turnover--which is near 40 percent--to weaken the union. If Harvard had won its appeal the vote would have been retaken.
HUCTW support also may have been cut by thehigh summer turnover of clerical and technicalworkers, in which more than one-third of thoseeligible for union membership left their jobs.
