“It’s pretty hard to grasp at this point,” Berry told the school’s website. “I really can’t put into words how cool it is. I’m going to look back and probably recognize how cool it is, but for now, I’m just focused on getting this team a couple of wins.”
With 1,361 career points and 503 assists, the senior point guard and co-captain ranks sixth all-time in women’s basketball scoring at Harvard and third in assists.
Consistency has been Berry’s trademark as a collegian. A four-year starter and two-time team MVP, she averaged 11.7 points as a freshman, 11.9 as a sophomore and 13.9 as a junior. This season she’s at 12.6. And she’s been an assists machine, averaging 4.6 for her career.
