Two Burgers, Please
After falling behind 8-4 in the second game, the Crimson rolled off four unanswered points, with Burger setting up Schossberger for three kills.
But the Bruins responded with a rally of their own, taking the next seven points to win the set.
After jumping in front, 9-6, in the third set, the spikers held off a late Bruin rally to go up 2-1 in sets. Suzie Tapson (four kills), Polikoff and Jean-Louis registered important kills for the Crimson in the third set.
Brown controlled the fourth set by combining effective blocks and excellent net play.
A Big Hug
In the fifth set, Brown unleashed a fury of spikes at Forman, who had just returned to the line-up after accidently being kicked in the face by Cassell.
Forman was up to the challenge, making several cross-court diving saves.
"I thought I killed her," Cassell said. "I knew Wayne would never forgive me."
The spikers used dink points, kills, and timely blocks to take a 13-10 lead. Burger, who has been solid off the bench all season, closed out the match with two straight kills.
Harvard will play its last matches of the season tomorrow against Wheaton and Assumption. The games will mark the final appearances for seniors Cassell, Tapson, Jean-Louis and Callie Huber at Malkin Athletic Center.
