However, the Crimson suffered a disappointing end to its season, bowing out in the third round of the Ivy League Championship and ending up with a fifth-place finish.
Now, the Crimson awaits the emergence of new leadership. The return of the injury-free Jellison, Hart, and Lutich to the line-up will, without a doubt, improve upon the Crimson's inconsistent record.
"Kristin Schaeffer and Linda Jellison will do a great job as captains next year," Nash said. "They have always been leaders on the court and taking on the official title of 'captain' should not be a big transition."
In addition, Denniston's performance this season served as a sign of hope for 1999. She started in several matches this season and, as the only freshman on the squad, gained much-needed experience that will bolster her skills next year.
Although 1999 marks the end of a dynasty for the Harvard women's volleyball team, the new century seems to be brimming with great hope and youthful promise.
