It might have been Dartmouth's homecoming this weekend, but the Harvard women's volleyball team didn't make the Big Green feel at home at all. The team continued its Ivy League dominance Saturday afternoon, posting an easy 3-0 win in Hanover, N.H.

Co-captain Linda Jellison had an impressive day with 12 kills and five digs, and finished with a .357 hitting percentage.

"They had a loud crowd [attendance of 314] and it made for quite a loud gym, but we were able to put it out of our minds," said junior Katherine Hart.

The Crimson (12-9, 4-1 Ivy) jumped all over Dartmouth (9-11, 2-3 Ivy) in three quick games, sweeping the match 15-7, 15-6, 15-11. With the win, Harvard stayed at the top of the tight Ivy League standings with Princeton and Brown.

In the first game, the Crimson came out strong and had an easy time of it. Both the offense and the defense gelled nicely, enabling Harvard to score points quick. After exchanging points early, Harvard pulled ahead and finished the Big Green off. The Crimson finished with 17 kills, six errors and a .256 hitting percentage.

"We didn't give them a chance to keep up with us. We dominated every point that game," said senior defensive setter Kristin Priscella.

The same could be said for the second game as well. While Dartmouth came back mad and played a little stronger, but the more the Big Green scored, the more Harvard stung right back. Again, after parrying early, the Crimson ran away with the 15-6 win. Both junior outside hitter Angela Lutich and freshman setter Mindy Jellin had long service stretches in that game to help the Crimson pull away. Dartmouth was unable to come up with much offensively, while Harvard had almost the same numbers as in the first game, with 12 kills, three errors and a .257 hitting percentage.

"The defense was working well, and our serve receiving was excellent[in the second game]," said Jellin.
