CHESTNUT HILL—The Harvard women’s volleyball shook up its lineup and the B.C. Eagles’ composure simultaneously last night, resulting in a convincing 3-1 win.

Harvard (2-6, 0-0 Ivy) lost a key player when sophomore outside hitter Pernilla Schweitzer suffered a shoulder injury in warm-ups, yet the Crimson remained undettered.

“We made it a team effort tonight,” captain Mindy Jellin said of the adjusted lineup. “We all relied on and trusted each other.”

The fourth and final game of the match tested this cohesion.

Harvard leapt out to a 8-1 lead behind the offense of junior Nathalie Miller.

Moving from her normal defensive position of libero to outside hitter, Miller’s timely play produced a number of key kills during the run.

B.C. managed to come back to tie the game at 16-16 and forced a seesaw battle through the next few points. The game remained tight until the Crimson went on a 3-0 run to build a 29-26 lead.

Victory was within a single spike, yet the Eagles proved fiesty again, battling back to tie the score at 29-29.

Harvard finally put the game—and match—away with bloop shot by sophomore Kaego Ogbechie and a missed spike attempt by B.C.

A large group of high school girls’ volleyball players cheered wildly for the victorious Crimson.

Despite Boston College’s resilience, the Crimson remained confident.

“I never doubted we would win,” Miller said.

Harvard showed a high level of energy and enthusiasm right from the start. Behind the power of Ogbechie and court leadership of setter Jellin, the Crimson eeked out a 31-29 win in Game 1.

Ogbechie set the tone with a number of athletic spikes and thundering blocks at the onset of the match. She ended with a team-leading 14 kills.

“Having confidence to win was key tonight,” said Ogbechie. “Our coaches talked about pounding away at the other team and taking care of the ball.”
