Sophomore setter Mike Bookman catalyzed the Crimson attack with 49 assists, four digs and four block assists.

Cardet led all players with a .545 hitting percentage, but Harvard's team percentage was only .155, due in large part to the 33 Harvard errors on kill attempts.

East Stroudsburg 3, Harvard 0

The Warriors (4-3, 2-2) used balanced hitting and sturdy defense to outlast the Crimson in three games on Saturday afternoon.

Although all three games were very close, Harvard could not gain the upper hand on the Warriors, who used very solid defense to produce a multitude of Harvard errors.

"[The Warriors] aren't a very high flying team," Cardet said. "However, they have a great defense, and our offense was not working well enough to find the gaps."

The Crimson fell in the first game 30-28, and battled to extend the second game to 31 points, but could not find the offensive rhythm in time to tie the match at 1-1. Harvard lost the second, 31-29, and then fell in the third and final game, 30-27.

East Stroudsburg was led by the play of Mike Messinger, who recorded 10 kills for the Warriors, while Jason Hartzel and Tom Shaver had nine kills each. Hartzel led all players with a .640 hitting percentage, and Shaver had one of .600. Setter Chris James had 36 assists.
