On the next point, a great dig by sophomore libero Juan Ramos helped set up Reppun’s game-winning kill.

“The effort was phenomenal,” Keller said. “We really gave the first two games away with a lot of unforced errors, but then we stepped in and did what we had to do.”

Reppun, with 19 kills, was one of five Crimson players to post a double-digit total. He also had a .368 hitting percentage.

“My job is to distribute the ball to the right guy at the right time,” said Bookman, who had a match-high 68 assists. “It’s a testament to the talent on this team that we have five guys with double-digit totals.”

Cardet led all players with 21 kills, but his aggressive style also led to 14 kill errors and a mediocre .143 hitting percentage.

Mosier (13), Freese (13) and Kowell (10) were the other players with double-digit kills while Ramos led the defense with 12 digs.

The statistics show a team with multiple offensive weapons.

“I think we have nine incredible athletes on this team, and I think we have all the capabilities to qualify for the NCAA tourney,” Bookman said.

The Crimson have not advanced to the post-season since 2000, Bookman’s freshman campaign.

Harvard will have to continue its quest for the post-season on the road. The Crimson next plays at MIT on Thursday at 7 p.m. in what will be the first of a five-game road trip.

Harvard returns to the MAC on March 1 to host Springfield at 7 p.m.
