Scott had a strong game on defense, leading the team with 18 digs and adding four assists in the final game.

"It was a great feeling," Scott said. "We've regained a lot of our confidence and our team is looking better every game."

Jellin, the other freshman setter, continued her strong play with 10 assists. She had her biggest game of the year last weekend when she tallied 47 assists and six digs in Harvard's loss to Stony Brook.

Along with junior Julie Yick--who had 15 assists and four digs in limited action against the Crusaders--Jellin has done an admirable job of filling the void left by graduating star Kate Nash '99 in the setter's position.

"Mindy has been playing great and has been doing a great job of setting this past week," Yick said.

Harvard starts the most important part of its season on Friday when it opens its Ivy League season against Cornell. The team's record against league opponents determines the seeding for the Ivy League Championships--to be held at Dartmouth in November--the winner of which gains the coveted birth to the NCAA Tournament.

"We had a very tough early schedule," Yick said. "And I think were better prepared than some of the other Ivy teams."
