 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Dartmouth women's basketball coach Chris Wielgus would like the Ivy League to end its holdout and play a postseason tournament. In the meantime, this will do. Elise Morrison had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Dartmouth to a 75-61 victory over Harvard on Saturday in a rare playoff to determine the league's entry in the NCAA tournament.
The Ivy League is the last conference in the country to give its bids — men's and women's — to the regular season winner; the playoff was only necessary because both schools finished 12-2.
"I'm always in favor of playing a little bit more, but the powers-that-be have said, 'Enough is enough' with regard to athletics," Wielgus said after Dartmouth earned its fifth NCAA berth, its first since 2000. "But I know that the quality of basketball isn't diminished at all by the fact that we don't have a tournament."
