Women’s Basketball Returns Home to Face Harvard on Monday

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Coming off their second straight win to open Ivy League play on Saturday, the Brown women's basketball team will return home for the first time in nearly six weeks to host Harvard on Monday afternoon. Tipoff for Monday's matinee is set for 3 p.m. on ESPN+ and a Brown audio broadcast on the Learfield Varsity Network.

SCOUTING THE BEARS

Brown opened Ivy League play with a strong 65-39 win at Dartmouth on January 6. The Bears then held a 21-point lead in the fourth quarter at Yale on Saturday before holding on for a 76-71 win.
Brown is 2-0 to start Ivy play for the first time since the 2005-06 season and has not started 3-0 since the 2004-05 season.
Both teams are 2-1 this season against common opponents, topping UMass Lowell and Yale, while falling to URI.
bella Mauricio has heated up over the last four games. Since playing in her home state on Dec. 30 against San Francisco, Mauricio has shot 21-for-43 (.489) from the floor, including 15-for-32 (.467) from three-point range and averaged 16.25 ppg, all well above her season averages.
ALYSSA MORELAND has attacked the glass recently, pulling down double-digit rebounds in three of her last four games, twice tying her career-high with 13 during the stretch. Moreland is the only Bear with games of 10+ rebounds this season, a feat she has accomplished four times.
BELLA MAURICIO currently sits in sixth place on the school's all-time three-point list with 160 three-pointers for her career, 10 shy of tying Colleen Kelly '06 for fifth place. Mauricio started her career at Brown making a freshman-record 70 threes. Only four Bears have ever made 200 three-pointers in their careers.
KYLA JONES has a chance to become the 23rd Bear in program history to hit 1,000 career points later this season. Jones currently sits at 888 career points and is coming off a season where she scored 344 points. Jones is averaging 15.1 points per game in her career, which currently sits sixth in program history.
