Lost by 35 to Harvard. Season low 31 points (and they had 23 until the middle of the fourth before getting a few buckets against Harvard's scrubs).

A long ways to go, I'm afraid. Harvard was their sixth loss in a row.
For much of the season, Victoria Page has been the offense. When she's not on (she shot 0-13 v. Harvard), there's no other option. Their sets are sloppy. They don't move the ball quickly. And they don't have players that can go one v. one. With Page graduating, I don't know where points are going to come from.
On the plus side, they've got 8 wins including two in league. Yes, some of that is smoke and mirrors (e.g. two D3 wins), but I'll take it over 2-23, and hope for continued improvement.

The Big Green starters scored a combined 9 points against Harvard, let that sink in.
Does anyone know why Ozel only played 4 minutes? She has really struggled after a strong start to the season and has appeared to get into coach Cimino's dog house on quite a few occasions.

Yikes. A 52 point loss to Columbia isn't what the doctor ordered. Final was 89-37.
Agree something is up with Ozel. 12 minutes, 0 points and 4 turnovers.

Outscored 24-1 in 3rd quarter, not sure I've ever seen a team score so little in a frame. The weird part about the game is it was actually sort of competitive midway through the 2nd.
Columbia's Griffith kept full court pressing into the final minute of the game, which Coach Cimino made clear she did not think was acceptable. Which it is not.
Dartmouth just has no reliable offensive weapons and has a general basketball skill deficit at every position. There are glimmers every now and then but Columbia was the wrong team on the wrong night.

Agreed. Hopefully we can give some payback to Columbia at some point...
