On Tuesday night at New Hampshire, both Docter and freshman setter Hannah Schmidt contributed with double-doubles, and the team seemed to be rounding into form despite the loss.
“We have really gotten better every time we’ve stepped on the court,” Weiss said. “We’ve done some good things with our offensive and defensive systems. So, we should be prepared.”
With the recent, non-conference matchups under their belt, Crimson players said they now know exactly what the team needs to do better if it hopes to compete with other Ancient Eight squads.
“We need to work on starting games strong and not waiting too long to turn it on, but there aren’t any huge issues,” Casey said. “Basically, we just need to play a little bit better.”
Harvard is confident, despite its disappointing start, that it can compete with the best of the Ivy League.
“Anybody can beat anybody on a given day, especially in the sport of volleyball,” Weiss said. “It’s always up for grabs in my eyes. We’ve been on the winning side and we’ve been at the top of the conference, and the goal is to be back there.”
