Smart girls can scoreBy Sharon Lin One team has a Pilgrim for a mascot; the other, an Indian, a bird, or a tree, depending on whom you ask. One represents the old guard, the other erudition on the frontier. On Sat., Mar. 14, Harvard prevailed in the battle of brains and brawn, pulling off a stunning 71-67 upset of its western counterpart, Stanford. The Crimson made NCAA basketball history as the first number 16 seed to topple a number 1 seed in either the men's or women's tournament. As usual, Alison Feaster '98 led Harvard, racking up 35 points and 13 rebounds. Feaster was Ivy League Player of the Week 11 times and won Player of the Year accolades. The Crimson's tournament ended on Mon., Mar. 16, when they dropped an 82-64 decision to Arkansas.
