Harvard's serving in the third was under par, causing the Crimson to turn over the little possession it obtained.
The third game looked much like the first, filled with many errors that the Scarlett Raiders did not hesitate to take advantage of. The Crimson did not get on the board until it was down, 8-0.
"We made too many mistakes to be able to beat Rutgers," Wilson said. "But if we played with the energy we played with today yesterday, against Princeton, we could have beaten [the Tigers]."
The Crimson continues to see strong play from junior middle blocking co-captain Ed Pankau, who currently leads the nation in blocks with an average of 2.93 blocks per match.
Another category leader on the Crimson is junior outside hitter Joe Herger, who is top in the nation for digs, averaging 2.73 per game.
"Joe's passing is real consistent, he has been doing a lot for us," Wilson said.
Wilson also extolled the play of freshman outside hitter Paul Guilianelli, who has been diving all over the court. His hustle has resulted in several unexpected points.
Harvard's next match is Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at the Malkin Athletic Center against Roger Williams.
