Brown's ability to sink three-pointers repeatedly foiled the Crimson's attempts at a comeback. Harvard's failure to make the right adjustments at the right time also helped the Bears on their way to victory.

Bright spots in the dismal night came, surprisingly, from the Crimson's freshman core. Betsy Odita, Liz Berkery and Cara Frey came off the bench to perform well in the face of a strong Brown team.

But on a night this dim, it was tough to appreciate the bright spots.

"Nothing went right," Co-Captain Jody Fink said. "You can pick anything and nothing was good."

THE NOTEBOOK: Brown's Shonica Tunstall led all scorers with 22 points...Dartmouth preserved its undefeated record this weekend, bouncing Brown by twelve points and Yale by one point in overtime.
