After the relatively contentious second frame, the Crimson coasted to victory in the third, holding Iona to a negative hitting percentage.

Ogbechie and sophomore Katie Turley-Molony led Harvard with 10 kills and freshman Laura Mahon added eight kills and eight digs.

HARVARD 3, LASALLE 0

Harvard saved its most dominating performance for last, as it demolished LaSalle 3-0 (30-23, 30-16, 30-21) to clinch the Dartmouth Invitational title.

The first game was relatively evenly contested, as the Crimson posted 18 kills as a team and the Explorers responded with 15. Harvard’s hitting percentage just barely edged that of LaSalle, but it was enough of a cushion to allow the Crimson to close out the Explorers 30-23.

While Harvard’s attack fell off a bit in games two and three, LaSalle’s went into the tank over the same span, as the Explorers registered 18 kills and committed 18 attack errors for a hitting percentage of .000.

The Crimson took advantage, winning the final two frames by a total of 25 points.

Harvard’s dominating performance came with Ogbechie, the Crimson’s kills per game leader, sitting on the bench and Schweitzer, the team’s overall kills leader, recording a negative hitting percentage.
