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:

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
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

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
November 8, 2025 at 3:15 AM
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
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

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
