Denver 3, Harvard 0

Yesterday, the Denver Pioneers rolled into Boston to battle the Crimson.

They also rolled over the Crimson.

The score implies that Denver seemed to dominate more and more as the match wore on, winning 17-15, 15-13, 15-8, but it might have been deceiving.

"We played them really close," Nash said. "It's kind of strange that we lost. We've just been having a tough time finishing games and finishing matches."

In the first game, the Crimson kept pace with the Pioneers, forcing the game past the usual 15-point mark.

The Crimson trailed in kills by only one and out-dug the Pioneers by two.
