Runaway Train

Black has asserted herself underneath the basket and is playing excellent low-post basketball, while Miller and Seanor have stepped up their games on both ends of the court.

But the reason this team keeps dominating its opponents is because of its depth. Harvard's pressure comes in waves, and it is relentless.

It begins with the starting five and is heightened by every player that comes off the bench.

With the constantly improving inside game of Rose Janowski and the perimeter games of guards Megan Basil and Sarah Brandt, Harvard has the luxury to substitute freely without losing any of its advantage. This luxury is present all the way the down the Crimson's roster.

Sophomores Sarah Russell and Kelly Kineen and freshmen Laela Sturdy and Courtney Egelhoff complete Harvard's roster and its excellence. These players contribute to the Crimson's success in ways that aren't statistically obvious, but which are worthy of mention nonetheless.

The point is that the Harvard Crimson does not have a weak point.

There is no soft spot in this iron horse.

The rest of the league must be cringing. Harvard is peaking at the ideal moment and chugging along toward the Big Dance. And as the Crimson heads toward an unprecedented achievement, it seems as though nothing is going to slow the train down.
