Saturday night's 74-64 loss to Yale was marked by a spectacular comeback and an inopportune overtime drought that dropped the Penn women's basketball team four games out of first place with five to play. The Quakers (12-10, 5-4 Ivy) scored 10 points in the last minute of regulation including two three-pointers by Karen Habrukowich. Habrukowich's second three came with seven seconds left, propelling the game into overtime. But in overtime, Penn went the first four minutes without scoring, while the Elis (5-18, 2-8) scored the first eight points and cruised to victory. Penn finished the extra session 1-for-11 from the field. Guard Joey Rhoads led four Penn players in double figures with 16. Monica Naltner added 14 points and seven rebounds, while Habrukowich dropped 14, and Jennifer Fleischer scored 10. Erica Davis and Morgan Richards combined for 40 points and 19 rebounds for Yale. Penn will play Princeton at the Palestra Tuesday and hopes to have two of its starters back in the lineup. Amanda Kammes did not play Saturday because of a head injury sustained against Brown, while Cat Makarewich came down awkwardly and left Saturday's game three minutes in with an ankle injury.
