Riding the strong offensive contribution of Stevenson and an impressive surge of floor defense, the Crimson was finally able to beat the Hawks 15-9 with a dramatic ace by Bookman.
The win, although far from perfect, accentuated some key elements necessary for Harvard's continued success in the EIVA--consistent serving and tenacious defense.
"We need to serve tough to win our league, and if we can keep up our defense we'll be able to take care of business," Pankau said.
Coach Wilson was also content with his team's spirited play.
"I am pretty pleased with the win," Wilson said. "But we still have a lot to work on for our next game."
The Crimson's next game is Friday night against Eastern Mennonite University, another league opponent. With continued determination and improvements in serving, the Crimson should be able to look forward to continued success in the EIVA.
