Ten straight points by Pittsburgh, mostly on kills, crushed any chance of recovery.

Harvard managed just five points for the rest of the game, losing 15-5 on another Pittsburgh kill.

Forcum and Lutich led the Crimson offense with 17 and kills, respectively. The pair also served up three aces each.

The huge Panther team was not something new to the Crimson.

"We've played big teams before," Nash said. "As long as we can diversify our offense, we can be successful."

Harvard 3, Manhattan 0

On Saturday morning, Manhattan (2-14, 0-0 MAC) proved to be not the foe that Pittsburgh was.

Opening with a 15-9 game victory, Harvard managed 18 kills to Manhattan's 16.

In the second game, the Crimson defeated the Lady Jaspers 15-8 and again out-killed them, this time 16-13.

Coach Jennifer Weiss, perhaps sensing a strong Crimson finish, decided to play everyone on the team.

"All 14 of us were in there," Nash said.

In the third and final game, the Lade Jaspers gave the Crimson a run for its money, but ultimately fell 15-12. Manhattan did register 22 kills to Harvard's 17 in the final game, however.

Lutich totaled 18 kills to Harvard's and 15 digs and freshman middle hitter Erin Denniston added 12 kills.

The win snapped Harvard's six match losing streak which dated back to the team's trip to California two weekends ago.
