Former Harvard Basketball Star Maura Healey Elected Mass. Governor

New Massachusetts governor-elect Maura Healey may be a very familiar face to fans of Harvard athletics. The current state attorney general played basketball for the Crimson under Kathy Delaney-Smith from 1988 to ’92, serving as the team’s co-captain as a senior.

With Healey’s help, Harvard won the Ivy League in 1990–91. As a senior the following year, her 150 assists were the second-most in a season in program history at the time, now ranking seventh per Harvard’s program record book. She is tied for third in program history with 13 assists in a single game, coming in ’92 against Brown, and was named the team’s best defensive player as a senior.
