The St. John’s University Women’s Basketball team received their first loss of the season after a tough Thanksgiving battle against Harvard at Carnesseca Arena on Nov. 28. The game was closely fought for all four quarters, but the Crimson were able to edge out a 54-52 win in the final seconds of regulation.

Both teams got off to a slow start offensively. Sloppy play led to the Johnnies turning the ball over eight times and Harvard committing seven turnovers of their own.
