The win marked the last regular season home game for captains Sarah Mattson and Katherine Hart, as well as for senior outside hitter Angela Lutich.
"It's somewhat anticlimactic", Hart said. "This may have been our last regular season home game, but we know there is at least one more game to play."
During the match, Harvard overwhelmed Marist, who never managed to compete with Harvard.
In the first game, Harvard lost the first point when an attempted kill found the net. That was as close as Marist would get.
The Crimson ran off 14 straight points, overpowering Marist on offense and shutting it down on defense, and coasted to win the game, 15-2.
The second game was more of the same. Harvard trailed 1-2, before going on a 14-1 run to close out the game and take a 2-0 lead in the match.
In the final game, Marist was up 1-0 before losing control. The Crimson closed with a 15-2 run to sweep its second consecutive match.
