Turner named Women’s Basketball Ivy League Player of the Year

The Ivy League announced the women’s basketball major awards Tuesday, with Crimson senior guard Harmoni Turner leading the pack as Ivy League Player of the Year.

With this announcement, Turner became the 17th player in Ivy League women’s basketball history to win both Ivy League Rookie and Player of the Year awards during her career.

In the regular season, Turner averaged a league-high 21.9 points per game in conference play, along with 6.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.2 steals per game. Turner helped lead the Harvard women’s basketball team (22-4, 11-3 Ivy) to 22 wins for the first time since the 2013-2014 season and earned Ivy League Player of the Week five times.

Along with Turner, the Ivy League named Harvard senior guard Elena Rodriguez to the All-Ivy Second Team and junior forward Katie Krupa to the 2024-25 Ivy League Women's Basketball Academic All-Ivy team.

Turner and the Women’s Basketball team will play second-seeded Princeton this Friday in the semi-finals of the Ivy League Madness tournament for a chance to win the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
