W. Volleyball Sweeps Harvard Invite

If practice makes perfect, then the Harvard women's volleyball team might soon find an Ivy League crown in its lap.

In its final tune-up before the Ivy League tournament next weekend at Dartmouth, the Crimson (17-11, 5-2 Ivy) cruised to a perfect 3-0 record at the Harvard Invitational this weekend, defeating Siena 3-0, Marist 3-1, and SUNY-Stony Brook 3-0.

"We had a great tournament this weekend," Harvard Coach Jennifer Weiss said. "We did a lot of good things this weekend, which is great because preparation for the Ivies next weekend is very important to us at this point."

Sophomore outside hitter Erin Denniston, who chalked up 24 kills against Marist on Saturday afternoon, and junior middle hitter Katherine Hart gathered All-Tournament honors for their efforts this weekend.

"We're viewing each match as preparation for the Ivies," co-captain Kristen Schaeffer said. "We think that every match will get us even better for next weekend."

Harvard 3, Siena 0

The Crimson entered Friday night's match against the Saints looking to get off to a fast start, in the first of three contests in less than 24 hours.

It did exactly that, as it dominated Siena from start to finish with an impressive 3-0 sweep, 15-6, 15-9, 15-11.
