Two other Crimson players notched double-digit kills: Comrie and sophomore Sandra Lynne Fryhofer, who recorded 12 and 10, respectively. Durwood continued to create scoring opportunities for her teammates with 47 assists. Ingersoll contributed seven kills and five blocks in the victory.
Three Harvard players also recorded double-digit digs. Wu led the squad with 24, while Ono Horn and Kocurek added 17 and 24, respectively.
Penn committed 10 service errors in the match, and the Crimson exhibited strong net play, out-blocking the Quakers 12-6. Harvard also held sizeable advantages in both kills, 82-50 and digs, 98-75. The Crimson sealed the victory in the fifth set by avoiding any attack errors.
The departing seniors looked back on the weekend with a bittersweet sense of finality.
“Ending a season is always sad,” Ono Horn said. “[And] this season, we placed the best of any team that I’ve ever been a part of. The fact that volleyball is over hasn’t even really hit me [yet].”
“[The seniors’] energy is so great,” Ingersoll added. “They really did carry the rest of the team along. I’m really sad to see them go.”
