Before this weekend, Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn stood in a precarious three-way tie for first place in the Ivy League.
Penn 78, Harvard 76 In Friday's battle for first place in Ivy League women's basketball, Penn (15-6, 6-1) came out the victor by a single field goal, leaving Harvard (13-6, 6-1) to play host to Princeton with its first Ivy loss. The game was close all the way through, with neither team able to sustain a large margin over the other.
A snowstorm was raging outside and there was no running water inside, but everyone in Leede Arena was focused on the drama being played out on centercourt. Going strictly by the numbers, Tuesday's game against the 5-12 Albany squad should have been easy for the 8-6 Big Green.
Leede Arena will play host to the Ivy League women's volleyball tournament this weekend for the first time in the 20 years of Ivy play.
