Senior outside hitter Linda Jellison led the Crimson with 18 kills and had an impressive .457 hitting percentage. Freshman setter Mindy Jellin, who has adjusted nicely in her role as the team's quarterback this season, orchestrated a dynamic Harvard offense with 45 assists.

For the Tigers, senior Melissa Ford racked up 47 assists and junior Sabrina King contributed 19 digs.

"It was a terrific match, and even though their crowd really heckled us, we played well," said junior outside hitter Angela Lutich. "A couple of my teammates and I were discussing how it was a great game because we managed to play as a team. No one really had an outstanding game, but we all worked together really well."

Serving won the match for the Crimson Friday night. During the middle of the third game, the Crimson trailed the Tigers 12-8, even though Harvard owned the first two games. Jellin then served seven straight points for Harvard, sealing the game, 15-12, and the match, 3-0.

"Our serving helped us out a lot and was able to take [Princeton] out of the game," Hart said. "Our serving prevented them from running their offense."
