W. Volleyball Tunes Up for Ivy Tournament With Weekend Sweep

The game was tied at 4-4 and then Harvard ran off six straight points to lead 10-4. Both teams continued to battle and at one point, the Crimson was up 13-7. However, this time the Pioneers would not fold quite as easily.

Trying to avoid the sweep, Sacred Heart fought back to 13-13, appearing to be in the match for the first time all night.

Harvard, however, extinguished any Pioneer hopes of extending the match any further and finished off Sacred Heart, 15-13.

"We played well because everybody was confident," Weiss said. "Our mental preparation should be the same for every single match we play."

The Crimson will indeed be tested this upcoming weekend as it hosts the annual Ivy League tournament.

In order to reach the finals, Harvard would first have to defeat Penn, which had the best overall record out of all the Ivy teams, and then face either Cornell or Brown in the next round.

The Crimson lost a 3-2 match to Cornell three weeks ago, and lost a 3-1 match to Brown last week.

"We have faced tough competition the whole season," Hart said. "Now is the time to step it up."
