In a turbulent season full of ups and downs, the Harvard men's volleyball team found itself repeating the past this weekend.
The Crimson split two matches in a weekend road trip that ended league play for the season. After losing to NYU in four games on Saturday afternoon, Harvard (10-8, 1-6 EIVA-Hay) picked itself off the ground to beat Queens College in five games yesterday.
The Crimson hopes to use this weekend as a tune-up for a series of matches in California at the end of the month.
Harvard 3, Queens 2
Yesterday afternoon, the Crimson was able to garner its first division victory after six EIVA-Hay losses.
Harvard came back from a lethargic start to win in five games, 15-11, 5-15, 10-15, 16-14, 15-13.
It was the last league match for the Crimson's two seniors, who avenged Saturday's difficult loss to NYU.
"During the match, we had a timeout that really put things into perspective for us," co-captain A.J. Lewis said. "We had a lot of upperclassmen playing for us during the match, and it was really great to have all [the players] rally around us for the win."
