Harvard held on for a 30-24 win.

“We know what we have the potential to do, and we just have to be consistent with it,” Weiss said.

“That was awesome to come back and win like it, but we have to start that way,” she added.

Neither side could grab an edge early in game three, until the Huskies ran off separate four and five point runs to take a commanding 23-16 lead.

Northeastern added five kills and a block to close out the third frame 30-20.

The Huskies jumped out to an 8-4 lead in game one, as the two sides engaged in several long rallies.

Three straight Northeastern unforced errors allowed Harvard to pull even at 10, but the rally was short-lived.

Leading 18-16, the Huskies put together a 12-2 run to close out the first game as the Crimson mustered just one kill over those final 14 points.

“It took us a little bit longer to get into the game mentally…and in the beginning it’s sometimes hard to get [our passing] warmed up,” Gould said.

Harvard responded in the second frame, taking the lead out of game and holding on to it for the two-thirds of the match.

Northeastern clawed back to tie the game at 19, but two Ogbechie kills and aces by Mahon and Cebron gave the Crimson the breathing room it needed for the 30-26 win.

The Crimson will return home this weekend to face Dartmouth and Marist, Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 1 p.m., respectively.
