This weekend was one of contrasts for the men's volleyball team.
On Saturday, Harvard (7-4, 4-2 EIVA) traveled to New York and lost in three games (10-5 9-15, 6-15) to the SUNY New Paltz Hawks (9-12). The Crimson returned home yesterday with a vengeance, though, and easily vanquished the Hunter College Hawks (12-11) in three games (15-3, 15-4, 15-10).
Both matches this weekend were non-league contests and allowed Harvard to rest some injured players and experiment with new lineups. The next league match is against MIT on Wednesday in the Malkin Athletic Center.
"Wednesday's home match against MIT is key for us," Harvard Coach Tom Wilson said, "I suspect the Engineers will bring lots of fans, so it would be nice to have a lot of fans of our own."
Harvard 3, Hunter 0
Unlike Saturday's game, the Crimson came out buoyant and energized.
"The match against Hunter was the most fun I've had playing volleyball in a long time," said freshman Will Pritchard.
