A close win against New Hampshire on Saturday salvaged what was left of a tough weekend for the Harvard women's volleyball team (5-6).
The Crimson went 1-3 against tough competition at the IKON Husky Volleyball Classic in Storrs, Conn., failing to win a game against strong national-level programs in UConn, Southern Methodist and New Mexico.
"We were disappointed with our performance in the first few matches," junior setter Julie Yick said.
But the UNH win, Harvard's fifth match in five days, was a bright spot.
"It was a great way to end the weekend," junior middle hitter Katherine Hart said. "We had a pretty rough time in our first three matches, and then we were able to turn things around."
UConn 3, Harvard 0
"The third game was very close," Hart said. "We had a big comeback at the end."
UConn jumped out to a 13-3 lead before Harvard started chipping away at the game, bringing the score to 13-13, before surrendering to the Huskies the last two points of the match.
