Unlike the Harvard football team, the women's basketball team saw last-minute heroics go in its favor this weekend as it split two games in San Antonio.
Brief side trips to the Alamo and the River Walk aside, the Crimson (1-1) did not take advantage of the 70-degree weather, instead staying in the gym and losing to a powerful Stephen F. Austin (2-0) team before defeating Texas-San Antonio (1-1) in overtime.
The latter game, played on Saturday, ended with sophomore point guard Jen Monti providing the heroics yet again with the game-winner.
Monti hit two game-winning shots in one weekend last year, handing both Brown and Yale devastatingly close losses.
