The Harvard women's volleyball team showed last night that it is ready to fight for its place among the top teams in the Ivy League.
The Crimson team handed a 3-1 loss to Providence, 10-15, 15-4, 15-11, 15-11, making up for its loss to the Friars earlier this season.
Riding a three game win streak, the Crimson (11-10, 3-3 Ivy) rolled into last night's match looking for revenge against Providence (16-10). Harvard was also looking for a season-high fourth consecutive win.
"We were definitely looking for a win," senior outside hitter Angela Lutich said. "Considering Providence beat us early on in the season, we were thinking of this game as a test of how far we've come."
The Crimson got off to a rough start as the acrobatic Friars mounted a 12-6 lead in the first game. Harvard fought back, bringing it to 12-10.
However, at 13-10, Lutich uncharacteristically missed a key spike. Providence used the miss to its advantage, taking the point and later the game, 15-10.
But after the first game, Harvard took control.
The Crimson came back with a vengeance, dominating the second game. Harvard held the Friars to only four points, taking the game 15-4.
