(1/2) Ivy League WBB went 3-for-3 today, with Harvard, Brown and Princeton all picking up wins. Scores and top performers: Harvard 72, Boston College 65 (OT) Brown 57, Boston U. 54 Princeton 69, Rice 56 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Harvard WBB gets a 72-65 OT win over Boston College - its 4th straight in the series - despite losing junior guard and leading scorer Karlee White to an apparent knee injury in the 3Q. Abigail Wright led Harvard with 23p (10-19 FG), 13r, 4a and 2b in 43 mins. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Ada Anamekwe subs in to start the 2Q — she’s also making her season debut for Brown. The Bears still aren’t fully healthy (and aren’t expected to be until at least Ivy play, with Powell out), but getting Anamekwe and Arnolie back is huge. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

Good to see Grace Arnolie back on the court for Brown tonight and being aggressive from the jump. What a pairing Brown has now at point guard with Arnolie and first-year Charlotte Adams-Lopez. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

@washmystics.bsky.social center/forward Shakira Austin was named today to the U.S. team for the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup later this month. Her teammates will be Veronica Burton, Allisha Gray and Naz Hillmon. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

(1/2) Three Ivy League WBB teams were in action today, and Penn pulled out a close win over Norfolk State. Scores and top performers: Penn 55, Norfolk State 50 Quinnipiac 69, Yale 46 Colgate 60, Cornell 54 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Fun finish in Colgate vs. Cornell WBB, which also happens to be a matchup between Shannon Bush and her boss last season, Emily Garner. Bush and Colgate get the 60-54 win to improve to 4-0; Garner and Cornell fall to 2-3. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Princeton's Fadima Tall wins Ivy League Player of the Week after averaging 17.0p, 8.0r and 4.0s against Villanova and Maryland. Brown's Charlotte Adams-Lopez wins Rookie of the Week after averaging 14.0p and 4.0r and helping Brown to its first win. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Several Ivy League WBB teams had rough weekends at the airport to begin the 2025-26 season. The FAA announced that flights could return to normal today, but teams are still facing the usual unpredictabilities. ICYMI, read @theixbasketball.bsky.social about what flying looks like in the Ivy now.

Correction: Looks like Harvard WBB is tipping at 10:30 p.m. ET, not 10 p.m. Either way, a rough start time out east!

(1/3) Five Ivy League WBB teams are playing today - including Harvard at Cal now! Here are scores and top performers for the East Coast games: Cornell 62, Canisius 50 Maryland 84, Princeton 68 Dartmouth 65, Siena 55 Brown 56, UMBC 54 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Fun tidbit from Princeton’s game at Maryland today: Sophomore Toby Nweke, who’s from Woodbine, Md., told @theixbasketball.bsky.social that her third grade teacher and her high school team were among the family and friends cheering her on at Xfinity Center. She played 27:30, nearly a career high.

Our @jennhatfield.bsky.social reports live after Maryland defeated Princeton 84-68: youtube.com/shorts/uoFbN...

An Ivy League field hockey team is going to play for a national title. No. 2 seed Princeton and No. 3 seed Harvard each advanced to the Final Four today and will face each other for the third time this season on Friday. Winner gets either UNC or Northwestern in the title game.

Final: Princeton falls at No. 9 Maryland 84-68. Princeton battled, including a 20-8 2Q, but Terps' 38 paint points were too much to overcome. Madison St. Rose had 20p and 4a for Princeton, and Olivia Hutcherson added 19 (8-10 FG) and 8r. Oluchi Okananwa had 20 for MD. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

Madison St. Rose beats the 3Q buzzer to pull Princeton within 61-48. That's within range for the Tigers, who've come back from 4Q deficits at Georgia Tech and Villanova this season. And Princeton is now 8-18 from 3. St. Rose leads all scorers with 16p (3-6 3pt) and 3a. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

Princeton WBB closes the half on a 12-0 run to pull within 34-30 against No. 9 Maryland. Maryland had no points and 5 turnovers in the last 3:43. Madison St. Rose and Olivia Hutcherson lead Princeton with 8 points each, and Toby Nweke has 6. Addi Mack has 11 for MD. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

After 1Q in College Park, Princeton trails Maryland 26-10. The Tigers committed 4 turnovers after a quick start offensively. MD has 10 paint points and 8 on fast breaks. Madison St. Rose leads Princeton with 6 points (2-4 FG). Saylor Poffenbarger has 8 (3-5 FG) for MD. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

(1/2) Harvard WBB used 16-for-28 shooting from 3 to score nearly 100 points today. The Crimson were among three Ivy League WBB teams in action today. Scores and top performers: Harvard 93, Oakland 55 Penn 67, Hofstra 55 Richmond 77, Columbia 67 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Final: Richmond tops Columbia WBB 77-67. The Spiders shot better from the field and hit 12 threes to Columbia's 5. Four players had between 14 and 16 points for Columbia: Riley Weiss, Susie Rafiu, Perri Page and Mia Broom. But Richmond had 4 with 15 or 16. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

At half, Columbia WBB trails Richmond 32-25. It's been a dogfight: Both teams are shooting sub-35%, and there have been 3 lead changes. Riley Weiss leads Columbia with 7p, 4r, 3s and 2a. Three other Lions have 5p each. Alicia Newell has 12p and 4s for Richmond. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Early takeaway from Richmond-Columbia: Perri Page and Susie Rafiu are an absolute menace on the glass this year, even more than last season. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Flight disruptions have been touching every part of American life this fall - including college hoops! @jennhatfield.bsky.social on how Ivy League teams are navigating travel disruptions with quick thinking and positive attitudes: www.thenexthoops.com/ncaaw/mid-ma...

Princeton alumna Abby Meyers debuted for the Israeli national team on Wednesday. She had 21 points and 6 rebs in 28 minutes in a 98-91 win over Bosnia. The game's leading scorer was her teammate, and Penn alumna, Alyssa Baron. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

(1/2) Ivy League WBB teams went 2-2 tonight, highlighted by Princeton's win at Villanova. Scores and top performers: Princeton 73, Villanova 68 Drexel 72, Penn 55 Holy Cross 65, Brown 64 Dartmouth 98, Colby-Sawyer 33 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Princeton WBB uses a 23-11 fourth quarter to beat Villanova 73-68 - its second comeback win over a Power Five team to start the season. Villanova made just 1 FG in the 4Q, with 8:33 left. Fadima Tall led Princeton with 21p (6-10 FG), 9r and 5s. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

(1/2) It was a tough night for Ivy League WBB, as each of the three teams in action tonight lost. Scores and top performers: Pitt 56, Cornell 54 UMass 68, Harvard 55 Hofstra 73, Yale 66 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

ICYMI: On Friday, Harvard WBB did something it hadn't gotten to do since 2008: hang a championship banner in Lavietes Pavilion. "When I first got here three years ago, that was the goal," head coach Carrie Moore said. I wrote on the banner and the ensuing win @theixbasketball.bsky.social:

Princeton guard/forward Fadima Tall is one of five #NCAAWBB National Players of the Week, as chosen by @usbwa.com. She had 16 points and 14 rebounds in the Tigers' win at Georgia Tech on Sunday, with 11 and 5 coming in the fourth quarter. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

(1/2) Ivy League WBB teams went 1-1 today - coincidentally, with scores that were nearly mirror images of each other. Scores and top performers: Penn 63, Delaware State 41 Albany 65, Dartmouth 41 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

The reigning Ivy League champ, Harvard, opened its season with a win over St. John's Friday night. @jennhatfield.bsky.social details how the Crimson used their new championship banner to guide them to the victory. www.thenexthoops.com/ncaaw/mid-ma...

Columbia WBB guard Riley Weiss wins the first Ivy League Player of the Week award of the season after averaging 22.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in two road wins. Harvard guard Olivia Jones is the first Rookie of the Week after averaging 7.5 points and 5.5 rebs. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

The Ivy League gets three bids to the 2025 NCAA Tournament in field hockey: No. 2 overall seed Princeton, No. 3 overall seed Harvard and unseeded Yale. Princeton and Harvard are two of the four host schools for the 18-team tournament. The first round is on Friday!

(1/2) The top three preseason Ivy League WBB teams were in action today, and two are heading home victorious. Scores and top performers: Princeton 67, Georgia Tech 61 Columbia 92, Ohio 74 Michigan 84, Harvard 55 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Huge win for Princeton WBB, beating Georgia Tech in Atlanta in its season opener. That’s already the third Ivy League win over a Power Five team this season — Harvard beat St. John’s and Columbia won at Butler on Friday. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Former Princeton star Blake Dietrick-Seifert retired after a storied career in the #WNBA, overseas 5x5 and 3x3. And basketball was just her second-best sport. For @theixbasketball.bsky.social, I wrote about Dietrick-Seifert’s impact on the game and what’s next.

Harvard head coach Carrie Moore told reporters after last night's game that Glenn-Bello had had X-rays and they'd come back negative. Moore didn't have full information beyond that but thought it was a hamstring injury. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Hours after a dozen Cal field hockey players and a team official were hospitalized with food poisoning, the Bears played their ACC tournament opener following an unsuccessful attempt to postpone it.

(1/3) On its opening day, Ivy League WBB went 4-3. Here are your scores and top performers: Harvard 61, St. John's 56 Dartmouth 52, Boston U. 50 Columbia 74, Butler 69 (OT) Penn 105, King's 31 Northeastern 75, Yale 64 Belmont 83, Brown 61 Bryant 64, Cornell 38 @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Harvard survives a nail-biter thanks to a deflection and then a steal by Karlee White on the final St. John's possession. The Crimson win their opener 61-56. White led the Crimson with 16 points (5-11 FG), 5 rebs and 4 steals. Abigail Wright added 11 points and 7 rebs. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

Harvard scored almost as many points in the 3Q (21) as it had in the entire first half (26), but it hasn't been able to shake St. John's. The Crimson lead 47-42. Karlee White is Harvard's leading scorer with 13 points and 5 rebs. Abigail Wright has 9 (3-5 FG) and 5. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

Glenn-Bello hasn't returned, and now junior guard Karlee White hobbles off. She rolled out her quad earlier, so possibly a cramp, but maybe an injury. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

At half, Harvard leads St. John's 26-23. St. John's heated up shooting the ball in the 2Q, but Harvard is +6 in the paint and has forced 13 turnovers. Senior Saniyah Glenn-Bello and junior Karlee White lead the Crimson with 8 points apiece. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Harvard's Aubrey Shaw gets on the board late in the 2Q with a close-range shot off the glass. Those are her first college points. Harvard leads St. John's 21-18. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Harvard guard Saniyah Glenn-Bello limps off with 6:55 left in the 2Q. She appears to be grabbing at her right hamstring. That's a big loss for the Crimson, who are counting on her to score more this season. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

After 1Q, Harvard WBB leads St. John's 12-7. Harvard has already played 10 players, including first-years Olivia Jones and Aubrey Shaw off the bench. Senior Saniyah Glenn-Bello leads Harvard with 6 points and 3 rebs. Harvard is shooting 36% to 29% for St. John's. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

Hello from Lavietes Pavilion, where Harvard WBB is warming up for its season opener vs. St. John’s. The Crimson will raise their Ivy Tournament champions banner before the 8 p.m. tip. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Even after retiring from basketball, Blake Dietrick-Seifert’s impact reverberates everywhere she’s been. Our @jennhatfield.bsky.social features the Princeton alum's post-basketball journey.

Harvard head coach Carrie Moore had high praise for first-years Olivia Jones and Aubrey Shaw today, ahead of the season opener on Friday vs. St. John's. "I think those two have a great chance to compete for an Ivy League Rookie of the Year," she told reporters. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Princeton guard Madison St. Rose and Columbia guard Riley Weiss are on the preseason watch list for @usbwa.com's national player of the year award. Fifty players are on the list, but only nine are from mid-majors. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB www.sportswriters.net/usbwa/news/2...
