Adding to a solid defensive effort, Ramos picked up 18 digs and Reppun contributed 13. Bookman also added six digs to go along with his 47 assists.
Springfield 3, Harvard 0
The Springfield Pride entered Thursday night’s match against the Crimson fueled by a seven-game winning streak. After losing three straight games, Harvard became victim number eight (30-27, 30-28, 30-22).
The Pride offense was directed by setter Tucker Short, who registered 37 assists. Outside hitter Greg Lardo controlled the Pride’s aggressive attack by putting down 17 kills, while sophomore Chris Hosely added eight.
Wilson described the Pride’s play as consistent, but said the game was never out of Harvard’s reach.

“What it boils down to is that invariably they converted one more play than we did,” Wilson said.
While the Crimson played a solid second game, timely digs and a crucial sideout kill by Springfield sealed the Pride victory.
Bookman posted 31 assists and Marouf led the team with 11 kills on offense.
The Crimson hopes to sustain the positive aspects of this weekend’s play when it faces MIT in a non-divisional contest on Wednesday.
