Harvard women's basketball team continues its postseason journey with a decisive 73-52 victory over Navy in the first round of the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT). The Crimson, led by Karlee White's 19 points, Abigail Wright's 14, and Katie Krupa's 12, dominated from the start, establishing an 11-0 lead early and maintaining control throughout. The win marks one of the program's largest postseason victories, second only to a previous 40-point win in the WNIT. Harvard is set to host Eastern Kentucky in the second round on March 22 at Lavietes Pavilion.
In swimming and diving, Harvard's Anya Mostek and Alexandra Bastone concluded their NCAA Championship appearances in Atlanta. Mostek, a senior, competed in multiple events, finishing 23rd in the 200 back, 34th in the 100 back, and 40th in the 50 free. Her performance in the 200 back was notable as she was the only Ivy League swimmer in the event. Bastone, also a senior, placed 27th in the 1650 free and 40th in the 500 free. This marks the 14th consecutive year a Harvard athlete has competed at the NCAA Championships.
In wrestling, senior Jimmy Harrington represented Harvard at the NCAA Championships in Cleveland. Harrington achieved an upset victory in the first round at 157 pounds, defeating Ohio's Derek Raike in overtime. However, his tournament run ended in the second round of the consolation bracket against Arizona State's Kaleb Larkin. Harrington's participation in the NCAAs for the second consecutive year highlights his consistent performance on the national stage.
