“We both wanted to play our best and wanted to play as hard as we could,” said Comrie, who led the Crimson with 20 kills. “The team played well because we knew how much this mattered to both Miyo and me. It was great to see everyone come together.”

PENN 3, HARVARD 0

Although the Crimson was able to avenge its previous 3-2 loss to the Tigers on Saturday, Harvard was unable to do the same in its rematch against Penn and suffered a three-set sweep to the Quakers for the second time this season.

“We played well, but came up short,” Weiss said. “They weren’t making any mistakes...We were playing so well, but you’ve got to play flawless volleyball.”

While individual performances from two Penn seniors, setter Megan Tryon and top hitter Julia Swanson, posed threats to Harvard, the Quakers’ combined defensive effort sealed the Crimson’s fate.

“Our defenders are great at getting balls up,” said Ingersoll, who led Harvard in blocks and kills for the weekend, despite playing through a shoulder injury. “But it doesn’t always translate into a kill if we’re not given the chance to get that perfect dig.”

Despite the loss, the Crimson’s victory over third-place Princeton kept the Harvard in place to finish the season fifth in the Ivy League standings.
