Once again, Harvard pulled out a victory in the final two points of the set with help from one of junior co-captain Anne Carroll Ingersoll’s 16 kills and a second one by sophomore Taylor Docter to capture the set.
The fourth set followed a similar pattern to the second, in which the Tigers captured the lead early and maintained it throughout. Princeton took the game, 25-21.
The deciding game was point-for-point to start until the Tigers took a 14-11 lead. With service from junior Sandra Lynne Fryhofer, the Crimson successfully knotted up the score at 14.
Despite its underdog performance, Harvard gave away the final two points on an error and a kill, culminating in its first overtime loss of the weekend.
Although its record for the weekend may have been disappointing for the Crimson, Comrie views it as a possible opportunity to improve.
“We’re really going to have to come together as a team this week,” Comrie said. “We’re going have to work more on executing each part of our game together.”
“[This weekend] was a good thing moving into the season because it’s really going to require us to work on each aspect of the game in this next week of preparation,” she added.
