Latest News: Yale Women’s Basketball Stuns Undefeated Bryant in Epic Comeback Thriller
New Haven, CT – Latest News — In a game that will be replayed on Yale dorm TVs for weeks, the Yale Bulldogs (2-7) delivered a second-half masterclass to erase a double-digit deficit and shock previously undefeated Bryant 61–48 Wednesday night at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
This wasn’t just a win. This was a statement.
Latest News: The First Half Nightmare
Bryant came out swinging. The NEC leaders built a 28–19 halftime lead behind red-hot shooting and Yale’s nine first-half turnovers. The Bulldogs looked lost, shooting 31% and getting out-rebounded on their own floor. Social media was brutal — “same old Yale” was trending on campus group chats.
Latest News: The Third-Quarter Explosion
Whatever Coach Dalila Eshe said at halftime needs to be bottled and sold. Yale opened the third on a 12–2 run, forced seven Bryant turnovers, and suddenly the Amphitheater was rocking. Junior center Lina Ortega owned the glass (12 rebounds, 7 offensive), while sophomore guard Sarah Ellis caught absolute fire.
Latest News: Fourth Quarter = Pure Cinema
Down 42–38 with eight minutes left, Yale dropped FOUR straight triples — three from Ellis — and the lead was gone in 90 seconds. Bryant went ice-cold (3-15 FG in the fourth), and Yale’s defense turned the game into a highlight reel of steals and run-outs.
Final: Yale 61, Bryant 48. The streak is dead. The vibes are immaculate.

Latest News: What People Are Saying
“From down 9 at half to winning by 13… this is the most electric Yale game I’ve ever seen.” — @YaleSenior25 on X
The Bulldogs now carry serious momentum into final exams and their December 7 trip to Brown. If this team just figured out how to flip the switch, the rest of the Ivy League should be nervous.
