To the tune of 85-58, the North Carolina Tar Heels tripped up the Harvard women’s basketball team this past Saturday (March 16) at the Big Dance in Chapel Hill. Capitalizing on superior quickness and physical play – and the Crimson’s cold shooting (33 percent) – the fourth-seeded Tar Heels, who led by 18 at the half, broke the game open with a 13-0 run early in the second quarter. Ivy League Rookie of the Year Reka Cserny led the Crimson with 16 points, while sophomore Tricia Tubridy made some noise with four blocks. The loss capped an Ivy title winning campaign for the Crimson (22-6), and the Ivy League’s highest NCAA Tournament seeding at 13.
