It's the first time Brown has scored 88+ points vs. a Div. I team since a Dec. 2018 loss to Northern Illinois, per @herhoopstats.com. And it's the first time in Ivy League play since a Feb. 2017 loss to Dartmouth. Brown has only done it 5x in Ivy play since 2009-10. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

In their Ivy League opener and a super fun game, Brown WBB beats Yale 88-72. @theixbasketball.bsky.social Brown: A. Moreland 23p (10-15 FG), 13r, 3s G. Arnolie 20p, 7a, 4r A. Anamekwe 11p (5-8 FG), 6r, 3a, 3s Yale: C. Moore 25p, 3a K. Capstraw 15p (6-12 FG), 9r, 5a L. Vydrova 13p, 6r

After 3Q, Brown WBB leads Yale 61-55. The Bears shot 56% in the quarter and have 42 of their 61 points in the paint. Alyssa Moreland (Brown) and Ciniya Moore (Yale) each have a game-high 20 points on at least 50% shooting. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Brown's Alyssa Moreland has a tall task today matching up with Yale's frontcourt, but she's been excellent. Late in 3Q, she has 20 points on 9-12 shooting, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Ada Anamekwe has also been very impactful off the bench (7p, 3r, 3a, 3s). @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

A fun first half between Brown and Yale WBB ends tied at 41. They're shooting 49% and 55%, respectively. Yale's Ciniya Moore leads all scorers with 12p (2-3 3pt), and Luisa Vydrova has 10. Brown's Grace Arnolie and Olivia Young each have 9. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Ivy League WBB teams' NET rankings continue to shuffle after Day 1 of conference play. Not surprisingly, Cornell was the biggest riser (+22 spots) after beating Columbia. Yale also moved up 10 spots ahead of its opener today vs. Brown. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

"We continued to fight and continued to believe." Cornell pulled off a win for the ages against Columbia on Saturday, 67-60. The Big Red's victory is the largest upset in Ivy League women's basketball history in over a decade. Our @jennhatfield.bsky.social takes you inside the historic matchup:

Current American head coach and former Penn associate head coach Kelly Killion got her first Patriot League win yesterday over Boston University. #NCAAWBB In nonconference play, I spoke to Killion for @theixbasketball.bsky.social about how Year 1 is going:

How Ivy teams' NETs changed after Saturday's results: Cornell: up 23 spots to No. 301 Columbia: down 17 spots to No. 75 Princeton: stayed at No. 38 Penn: up 2 to 112 Harvard: up 10 to 73 Dartmouth: down 17 to 252 (Note: NETs can also move based on other teams' scores.) @theixbasketball.bsky.social

(1/2) Cornell's 67-60 win at Columbia today was the biggest Ivy League WBB upset since at least 2008-09, based on teams' end-of-season @herhoopstats.com rating. It beat out Dartmouth over Penn and Brown over Princeton in 2014. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

(1/4) What a day to open Ivy League WBB! Cornell gets its biggest win under Emily Garner, beating Columbia in NYC, and Penn nearly knocks off Princeton in a vintage battle. Scores and top performers below! @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Wow: Cornell WBB takes down defending champion Columbia in New York City, 67-60. Emily Pape led Cornell with 19p and 6r. Rachel Kaus added 15p and 5r. Clarke Jackson had 12p and 7r, and Audrey Chen had 12p off the bench. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Clarke Jackson gets a steal and hits a tough layup with 4 seconds left in 3Q to give Cornell a 46-39 lead over Columbia. Cornell entered today ranked 324th in the NET to Columbia's 58th. Ten minutes to see if the Big Red can get a statement win. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Spotted: awesome throwback sweaters from Carla Berube and the rest of the Princeton staff for today’s game against Penn. 🐅 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Penn WBB cut a 13-point deficit to 6 late in the 2Q and trails Princeton 38-30 at halftime. Katie Collins has a game-high 13 points (5-9 FG) and 4 rebs for Penn. Olivia Hutcherson leads Princeton with 11 points (5-6 FT) and 3 rebs. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

At halftime, Cornell WBB has a 28-26 lead on Columbia. Cornell has shot 44% overall and from 3 to Columbia's 39% and 25%. Columbia has a huge lead on the glass (21-9), but Cornell has gotten 12 early bench points, including 6 from Audrey Chen. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Despite not playing since Dec. 22, Princeton WBB isn't showing any rust, racing out to a 25-12 lead over Penn after 1Q. The Tigers are shooting 50% and have 6 early bench points, which is big for a team that relies heavily on its starters. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

With about 3.5 minutes left in 1Q, Princeton’s Madison St. Rose reaches 1,000 career points by swishing a contested long 2-pointer. She hits the milestone in her 78th career game. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Today is the first day of conference play for Ivy League WBB! Princeton-Penn, Harvard-Dartmouth and Cornell-Columbia are all at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN+. Brown-Yale was bumped to Monday at 5 p.m. If you'd like some pregame reading, here's a link to all of our Ivy content @theixbasketball.bsky.social:

This isn't explicitly mentioned in the story, but a periodic reminder: Carla Berube's record at Princeton looks like a typo. In her sixth season of competition, she is 133-26 overall and 71-6 in Ivy League play (including the postseason). @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Princeton isn’t winning the way head coach Carla Berube is used to. Ivy League beat reporter @jennhatfield.bsky.social analyzes how Princeton's faster-paced offense, not its defense, was key to success in nonconference play.

Riley Weiss reached 1,000 career points on Monday, but the Columbia junior said she wasn't focused on that. Instead, she's worked diligently with head coach Megan Griffith this season to learn when to pass. Read more @theixbasketball.bsky.social on Weiss' milestone and growth:

Harvard WBB announces that it'll take a foreign tour to Croatia and Greece Aug. 9-19. Lydia Chatira, a native of Greece, will get a homecoming. #NCAAWBB teams took few tours in 2025, but with ever-more international players, some could use tours this way going forward. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

"She can literally do everything with the basketball.” Riley Weiss is leading Columbia in scoring for the second straight year, all while averaging a career-high in assists. Here, our @jennhatfield.bsky.social spotlights how the junior is elevating her offensive game:

(1/2) In the last two nonconference games for Ivy League WBB, Penn and Dartmouth both picked up wins. Scores and top performers: Penn 59, Binghamton 54 Dartmouth 99, St. Joseph's Brooklyn 35 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Cornell senior forward Emily Pape wins Ivy League Player of the Week after scoring 24 points on a career-high six 3-pointers in a loss at Stanford. There is no Rookie of the Week this week (very few games, no nominees). @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

(1/3) Today, Ivy League WBB teams went 4-0, including 2-0 away from home. Scores and top performers: Brown 76, Wheaton 24 Harvard 70, Delaware 63 Columbia 63, FGCU 44 Penn 78, UMES 57 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Columbia WBB rips off a 25-4 third quarter to take a 55-33 lead over FGCU. 18 of those points came off turnovers, and the Lions shot 50% to the Eagles' 20% in the period. Columbia's Riley Weiss leads all scorers with 22 points (9-21 FG) and 3 rebounds. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Riley Weiss has 6 of Columbia's 8 points in an 8-2 run early in the 3Q against FGCU. Her second basket in that stretch, a tough layup through contact, gave her 17 points today and 1,001 in her career through 2.5 seasons. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

At half, Columbia WBB leads FGCU 30-29. FGCU got more on the inside in the 2Q, but it has only made one 3-pointer to Columbia's five. Columbia's Riley Weiss (13p, 3-9 3pt) and FGCU's Nay Staton (11p, 4-6 FG, 4r) are leading the way for their teams. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

After 1Q, Columbia WBB leads FGCU 18-14. It's been a pretty even game so far, but Columbia is +4 in points off turnovers. Columbia's Riley Weiss, who needs 16 points to reach 1,000 in her career, has a game-high 7 on 3-7 shooting. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Hello from FGCU, where Columbia WBB is in town to face the Eagles at 2 p.m.! If you're looking for some pregame reading, check out my latest @theixbasketball.bsky.social about how Fliss Henderson recovered from a back fracture to be an anchor for the Lions. #NCAAWBB

Here are your weekly updates on Ivy League WBB teams' NET rankings. Princeton holds steady from last week at No. 38, while Columbia inches up to No. 69. Dartmouth is the biggest riser, climbing 14 spots to No. 234. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

(1/2) Ivy League WBB returned from the holiday break with two tough losses. Today's scores and top performers: Vermont 61, Dartmouth 59 Stanford 82, Cornell 50 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Yale and Brown WBB announce that their Ivy League opener in New Haven has moved from Jan. 3 to Jan. 5 at 5 p.m. ET. All other Ivy WBB teams will still play on Jan. 3. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Fliss Henderson got two surprise diagnoses in her first year at Columbia: scoliosis before the season and a stress fracture in her back after the season ended. Now a junior, Henderson is healthy and an integral part of the Lions' success. Read more from @jennhatfield.bsky.social:

Carve out some time this week for a beautiful @natalieheavren.bsky.social feature on Dayton guard Nicole Stephens and how she's evolved her game with eyes on a future in coaching.

Spend some time with this one. Our @jennhatfield.bsky.social caught up with Joe McKeown and his family as the remarkable coach was honored for his work at both Northwestern and George Washington. A legend reflects: #NCAAW www.thenexthoops.com/ncaaw/mid-ma...

Yale's Ciniya Moore wins her first career Ivy League Player of the Week. She had a career-high 33 points in a 2OT loss to High Point. Dartmouth's Debra Hill wins her first Rookie of the Week after she had a career-best 14 pts and 7 rebs vs. Franklin Pierce. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

(1/2) In Ivy League WBB's final game before Christmas, Princeton beat Temple 87-77. The Tigers led by as many as 26. Madison St. Rose led Princeton with 22p and 4r. Skye Belker had 19p (3-5 3pt) and 4a, and Toby Nweke had a career-high 15p (3-5 3pt) and 4r. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Here's this week's update on where Ivy League WBB teams rank in the NET. (This doesn't include Princeton's game today vs. Temple.) Princeton continues to lead the way at No. 38. Yale is the biggest riser, moving up 13 spots to No. 283. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

George Washington honored former coach Joe McKeown in his return to Washington, D.C., ahead of his retirement at the end of the season. @jennhatfield.bsky.social details the ceremony that took place before the Revolutionaries' 75-62 win. youtube.com/shorts/Uc5CZ...

Tough loss for Harvard WBB today against Maine. In a game that had 15 lead changes and 10 ties, Maine won 59-57 on a putback at the buzzer. Harvard's Abigail Wright led all scorers with 22 points and 9 rebs. Saniyah Glenn-Bello added 12, 7 and 4 blocks. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Final: GW WBB spoils Joe McKeown's D.C. homecoming with a 75-62 win over Northwestern. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Stop me if you've heard this before: Northwestern WBB gets a buzzer-beater at the end of the quarter to cut GW's lead to 8. This time, it's a 3 from Caroline Lau to end the 3Q to make it 52-44. She and teammate Tayla Thomas each have a game-high 15 points. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

A last-second layup by Angelina Hodgens pulls Northwestern within 8 points at halftime. But the Wildcats still trail GW 32-24. Northwestern's Tayla Thomas and GW's Emma Theodorsson each have a game-high 9 points. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

In Joe McKeown's "homecoming" trip to D.C., GW WBB leads Northwestern 16-10 after the first quarter. Both teams have struggled shooting the ball early, but GW has 5 early assists to 0 for Northwestern. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Ciniya Moore had 33 points for Yale today in a double-overtime loss at High Point. That's the first time a Bulldog has scored that many since Roxy Barahman also had 33 in February 2019 in a win over Princeton, per @herhoopstats.com. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

(1/4) It was a wacky day in Ivy League WBB, with one OT game, one 2OT and a third that nearly needed OT. Princeton's Ashley Chea and Columbia's Fliss Henderson hit game-winners with under 5 seconds left. @theixbasketball.bsky.social Check out today's scores and top performers ⬇️

Blair-Lewis' sweater features her two sons, she said postgame. Brice, 7, is doing the "Home Alone" look, and Blair, 11, "never wants to take pictures." "So I thought it was...[as] ugly as I could get," she said, "but just being able to celebrate them and just always taking my family wherever I go."
