Welcome to the first-ever postseason Ivy League Women's Basketball Tournament.

Welcome to the last-ever postseason Ivy League Women's Basketball Tournament.

Coin Toss

Because Harvard and Dartmouth completed the regular season in a 9-3 tie, a coin toss was held Sunday morning, with the winner of the flip awarded the option of home court advantage throughout the tournament or a first-round bye.

Calling tails, the Crimson won the toss and selected home-floor advantage. The squad will thus entertain Cornell--for the second time in five days--in the tournament's opening round tomorrow evening at Briggs, while Dartmouth will be idle until Saturday.
