It's amazing what a difference a day makes.
After demolishing highly-touted Princeton in three games Friday afternoon in New Jersey, the Harvard women's volleyball team (10-9, 3-1 Ivy) dropped a disappointing 3-1 road match to the Ivy doormat Penn.
"It's hard to say what happened Saturday," junior middle hitter Katherine Hart said. "We were a little over-confident, and we won the first game [against Penn] pretty easily, but then we got a little complacent."
At stake this weekend for the Crimson was sole possession of first place in the Ivy League standings. After Friday's win against Princeton, Harvard had been the lone unbeaten team in the league, but its loss to Penn Saturday allowed Princeton to grab a share of first place.
Harvard 3, Princeton 0
Harvard's 15-8, 15-12, 15-12 win was a confidence booster at the time.
"Everything went really well for us, and it was great," Hart said. "We were all really psyched because we were the only two undefeated teams in the league, so everyone was really fired up."
