Early in the third game, the Crimson again seemed to suffer from a mental lapse as the Sea Wolves jumped out to a 12-5 lead. A Denniston kill began a Harvard rally, and the Crimson climbed back to score seven consecutive points, tying the game at 12-12. A Jellison kill from the right side of the net down the middle of the court gave Harvard a 13-12 lead, but after a long serve by Jellin and a Miranda kill, Stony Brook tied the game at 13-13. A block by the Sea Wolves' Alisse Gossett allowed Stony Brook to go up 14-13, but Harvard dominated the rest of the game.

A kill by Jellison through the hands of two Stony Brook blockers forced a Sea Wolves sideout, and a Jellison block on the Crimson's next possession allowed Harvard to tie the game. A Denniston kill forced match point, and Harvard went on to win the final game, 16-14.

"We ran the sideouts that we wanted," Weiss said. "We just tried to chip away at their lead [during the fourth game]."

Harvard is seeded third in the Ivy League tournament next weekend and will be spending this week in preparation for the most important weekend of its season.

But if last weekend's Harvard Invitational is any indication of the Crimson's performance in the future, an Ivy League crown may be in the Crimson's crystal ball.
