This was not the way the Crimson wanted to end its Ivy League regular season.
The Harvard women's volleyball team lost its last two matches of Ivy League play, dropping Saturday's match at Brown, 3-1, (15-5, 15-12, 7-15, 15-7), and Friday's match at Yale, 3-0, (15-11, 15-11 and 15-12).
Winning one game over the entire weekend, Harvard (11-12, 2-5 Ivy League) must now enter the Ivy League tournament, which it will host, with league wins only against Columbia and Dartmouth. Its 2-5 Ivy record gives it the last seed in the upcoming Ivy tournament.
"It's disappointing", freshman middle hitter Mariah Pospisil said. "We hoped to have two more wins going into the tournament."
Brown 3, Harvard 1
The Bears were in control for most of the match, taking a 7-3 lead in the first game and never looking back. The Crimson tried to come back, but Brown ended the game with a 7-0 run and went up 1-0.
The second game was closely fought, but the outcome was the same. Both teams fought to an 8-8 tie, then to 12-12, but Brown took the final three points and took the game 15- 12 for a 2-0 lead.
