After defeating the Crimson handily last weekend, the Bulldogs came into the weekend confident, but Harvard proved to be a difficult out when it came to playo s. The Bulldogs were the only team to sweep their quarterfinal matchup as they won 4–2 and 4–0 against Harvard on Friday and Saturday.

“Last year that was a very talented team and they still are,” captain Claire Dalton ’23 said.

“For us to take them down, we lost to them in the playo s two years ago so it’s just like a rivalry and then obviously just Yale-Harvard in general is a big thing.”

In both the 4–2 victory in game one and then the 4–0 win in the deciding game two, the Bulldogs were led by the strong performances of two players in both the team’s o ensive and defensive zones.

Forward Grace Lee ’24, who entered the weekend with only one goal on the season, exploded onto the scoresheet in a massive way for Yale in the quarterfinal matchup.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Yale crushes Cornell

With the shot clock winding down on Yale’s final possession of the first half, forward EJ Jarvis ’23 gathered the ball, half-spun away from his defender and hoisted up a high-arcing, deep corner jump shot o his back foot that swooshed perfectly through the net.

It was just that kind of night for Jarvis, who scored 34 points on 13–18 shooting while leading the Bulldogs (19–7, 9–4 Ivy) to a 76–58 rout of the Cornell University Big Red (16–10, 6–7 Ivy) on senior night — the final game of the season on Yale’s home court in John J. Lee Amphitheater.

The high-scoring performance nearly doubled Jarvis’ previous career high of 18 points and was also the most points scored in a game by a Yale player since Azar Swain ’21 scored 37 on Jan. 25, 2022. The Ivy League also named him their “player of the week.”

Jarvis’ success also meant that the shorthanded Elis stayed ahead of the Big Red by a comfortable margin for most of the night, despite playing without forwards Matt Knowling ’24 and Danny Wolf ’26 — who were injured and ill respectively.

Cornell started the game strong, going up 9–4 in the opening three minutes, but the Blue and White scored the next seven, with guard John Poulakidas ’25’s jumper with 14:12 remaining giving them a lead they would never relinquish.

Poulakidas, who became Yale’s first 30-point scorer of the season in last week’s comeback victory against Princeton University, added 14 points, while fellow sharp-
