The Crimson outclassed Brown on Friday night, avenging the loss from earlier in the season.
Last time, Harvard had no answer to the Bears’ right side hitters but this time the team came prepared and the adjustment proved too much for the visiting squad.
“Last time we played them, their right sides were really successful against us and we knew going in that we had to shut them down and we really did,” Casey said. “We shut down their right sides and they really didn’t have any other options to come at us with or any sort of plan B.”
During the second set, Bain broke the program’s single season record for aces set by Lolita Lopez ’98. The freshman has also recorded three triple-doubles on the year, which stand as the only triple-doubles in program history.
“It’s incredible [that she broke the record] but Corey does so much for us that her serve isn’t even the main thing on our minds,” Casey said. “She wears so many hats. She’s got a lot on her shoulders for a freshman and she’s one of the most mature, poised freshmen I’ve ever played with.”
