By Nícolas O. Jiménez and Cathy Tran, Crimson Staff Writerss

After suffering a five-game loss to Northeastern the previous night, Harvard rebounded the next morning to defeat Wagner (3-13) in three easy games, 15-5, 15-5, 15-12.

With many Crimson players seeing significant playing time throughout the match, sophomore outside hitter Liz Cebron led the Harvard offense with seven kills, and Jellin bolstered the Crimson defense with 10 digs. Denniston and Hart, who both spent significant time resting for the Crimson's next match against UNH, also recorded six kills.

Harvard easily dismantled Wagner's offense, with no Seahawk recording more than six kills for the entire match. With strong blocking and serving by the Crimson, Harvard won the first game, 15-5, and maintained its offensive momentum to win the second game, 15-5.

The Seahawks threatened to make a dent in the Crimson's lead in the third game, but Harvard quickly silenced Wagner's offense, winning the final game 15-12.

Northeastern 3, Harvard 2

The Crimson's first match of the tournament was against Northeastern (6-10) on Friday night. Harvard trailed throughout most of the match and fell 16-14, 13-15, 15-3, 15-9.

Harvard started off slowly and soon found itself trailing 11-4 in the first game. The Crimson offense finally revved itself up and exploded to take a 14-13 lead, but foreshadowing its play for the rest of the tournament, Harvard was not able to finish off its opponent after fighting to take the lead. The Huskies ultimately came back to win the first game, 16-14.

"We started playing well," Weiss said. "But we have to play each opponent point-for-point."
