The next two games proved to be more of a challenge for the Crimson. However, Harvard's solid outside play and determined inside effort kept the Friars at heel.
Tightly contested, the third game was competitively fought until the end. With both teams tied at 11, the Crimson maintained its focus and overtook Providence with a string of four straight points, clinching the third game, 15-11.
Learning its lesson from the third game, Harvard got out to an early lead over the Friars in the fourth game. Providence then took the game back, tying the game at 10.
Just as the match looked like it had the potential of going another game, the Crimson quickly finished off the Friars. Harvard took the fourth game, 15-11, knocking off Providence and accumulating some impressive statistics for the match.
Crimson sophomore setter Mindy Jellin, one of the league's top players, managed 51 set assists and 20 digs.
Classmate Liz Cebron capitalized on her court-time with five service aces and eight digs.
Senior captain Katherine Hart, named Ivy League Player of the Week for her solid hitting against Quinnipiac and Dartmouth last week, managed 13 kills and 12 defensive digs against the Friars last night.
