After beginning its Ivy League schedule in style, the Harvard

women's basketball team will seek to notch two more crucial league victories under its belt this weekend.

Harvard (7-5, 1-0 Ivy) aims to maintain its perfect Ivy record when it hosts Yale Friday night and Brown Saturday night.

After demolishing Dartmouth 73-67 in front of a raucous, nationally televised home crowd last Friday night, the Crimson seems to have hit its stride at the right time.

"We're really trying to concentrate more on our game than on their game," sophomore guard Jenn Monti said. "As long as we take care of our game, things will go well for us."

In front of 2,000-plus enthusiastic fans, the Crimson dominated the Big Green last weekend with sharp shooting, crisp passing, and a suffocating half-court defense that stifled the Dartmouth offense. Even though the Crimson won by only six points, it had enjoyed a commanding lead of 22 points just minutes into the fourth quarter.

Leading the Crimson with 15 points, captain Laela Sturdy lit up

the court last Friday by sinking three-of-four shots from beyond the arc
