The best teams in volleyball may traditionally come from California, but Pennsylvania isn't far behind.
The Harvard men's volleyball team lost both of its matches this weekend, falling to East Stroudsburg 3-0 (30-28, 31-29, 30-27) and losing to St. Francis 3-1 (22-30, 30-21, 30-28, 30-27) on Saturday and Sunday.
The Crimson (4-3, 1-3 Hay) lost several close games and was unable to recover, falling two games back in the loss column to the leaders of the Hay division. Harvard is now in need of a sustained winning streak to make the conference tournament.
St. Francis 3, Harvard 1
Harvard took the first game 30-22, and fought to 16-16 in the second game. St. Francis then recorded seven straight points to take control of the game and closed out the Crimson, 30-21.
The third game was the turning point of the match.
With Harvard leading 28-19, and the match tied at 1-1, freshman middle blocker Juan Carlos Cardet went down with a sprained ankle.
