(1/2) Brown WBB wins its fourth straight game, 68-60 over UNH, despite trailing by 12 at half. It doubled up UNH in the 4Q.
And Grace Arnolie and Alyssa Moreland are two of the best duos in Ivy League WBB, but other Bears stepped up with them in foul trouble. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

The Brown broadcasters just pointed out that first-year point guard Charlotte Adams-Lopez went to Bishop Feehan HS in Massachusetts - the same high school as head coach Monique LeBlanc. That must've been fun for LeBlanc during the recruiting process! @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Karlee White, Harvard's second-leading scorer and steals leader, avoided knee ligament damage last week vs. Boston College. It's "a bad bone bruise," per head coach Carrie Moore. There's no firm timeline for her return; she's considered day-to-day, but it could be weeks. @theixbasketball.bsky.social
