After a brief rally, it was Christina Smith's turn. The Crimson scored five more points, including an ace by Smith. Score: 11-3.

At this point, the Tigers were running around in confusion: How could they stop these breakthrough serves? After a single point made it 11-4, Lem substituted senior Yvonne Karanas for Wallace on the serve.

It was a timely substitution. Karanas scored two spectacular aces. Score: 13-4.

Game Over

The Tigers broke the serve and scored one point before Cunning-ham's huge kill muzzled them. Cunningham ended the game with two more kills for the 15-5 victory.

"We made them make mistakes," Lem said. "If this continues, some interesting things will be happening at the Ivy League tournament [held November 10-12 in Philadelphia]. We'll know our standing by the way we play in our invitational."

Harvard will host the Harvard Inivitational November 4-5 at the MAC. This Wednesday, the Crimson travels to Brown for its last regular-season Ivy match of the year.
