“[We] controlled the pace the entire time,” said junior Mariah Pospisil.
The victory was the team’s second of the season, an important one both in terms of chemistry and experience.
“We’re feeling more comfortable now that we have some matches under our belt,” said Pospisil. “We played calm and collected.”
Ogbechie led the offensive attack, registering 22 kills and 16 digs. Setter Jellin tallied 44 assists and 23 digs.
“Mindy was unbelievable,” said Ogbechie. “She was able to get the ball to you regardless of where it was.”
The Crimson’s recent success gives it confidence that it can improve upon its recent slow start and its 3-11 Ivy record last season.
“[The tournament] was a great way to start our Ivy League conquest,” said Ogbechie.
“We can play with anyone,” she added.
