In response to 73Quaker
Tough 55-52 loss for the women against Harvard last night.
Harvard rushed out to a 22-12 lead after 1 quarter and 27-12 a minute later. Quakers regrouped to get it down to 4 at halftime and 41-41 tie after 3.
Harvard went up 7 with 2:30 to go, but Penn came back to 3 make it 3 with 1:19 to go and again with 16 seconds left. Penn got the ball back with 9 seconds left, but Anna Ross missed a three at the buzzer.
Parker had 14 and 8. Nwokedi had 11 boards, but only 6 points on 3-13 shooting (0-3 from three). As a team, they shot 30% from three and 36% from two.
Taylor Rooks had 21 points and 12 boards, while Jeannie Boehm recovered from her injury in the earlier Penn game to put up 10 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks. Syndey Skinner came off the bench to add 12 points.
Harvard played a much better game and was strong inside. As a team, they had 9 blocks, 8 steals and forced 15 turnovers.
Penn played much better defense in the second and third quarters, and parts of the fourth. The offense again struggled against a good team. Even with that, they only lost by 3 to a team that is 11-0 at home.
The Quakers are now 8-3, two games back of Princeton and one game ahead of Harvard & Yale. They play 5th place Dartmouth in a few minutes and need to win that one to stay in 2nd place.
