The Crimson will have the rest of the week to regroup and recover from its exhausting schedule of the last week.
Its next match will be on Saturday afternoon, when Harvard will travel to Stony Brook to compete against both Wagner and Stony Brook.
"Even though we lost the match [against UMass], we still had some freshmen who played really well for us," Yick said.
The freshman class has significantly strengthened the Crimson roster this season. Against UMass on Tuesday night, freshman setter Mindy Jellin played well, tallying 28 assists for the match and adding nine digs. Classmate Liz Cebron also made a key contribution with seven digs.
"We actually had some individual players who had really great games, but as a team, we just couldn't pull it together," Yick said.
But by the weekend, the Crimson should have enough time to recharge its batteries in the hopes of recapturing its winning style.
