Harvard was spearheaded by three main offensive weapons on Friday night: Cornelius, Mabry, and Roberts Burbank. Combining for a total of 40 kills, the three players had attack percentages over .320 and contributed 45 points out of 70 total points in the contest.

Junior blocker Jocelyn Meyer also had an impressive night serving the ball, breaking through the Brown defense with three aces. Meyer currently leads the team with 20 aces for the season, with the Crimson having tallied 36 aces so far in conference play.

The strength of the two teams were virtually inseparable in the first set, going back and forth through the 10s and 20s. Harvard held the lead at 21-19, but four kills and two Crimson errors ultimately gave Brown the first set victory.

Set two was a completely different narrative. After earning 13 points, the Bears fell victim to an unstoppable Crimson offense for the remainder of the set. Harvard delivered eight of the nine final points in the set, cruising to a 25-14 set victory. The .467 hitting percentage and 17 team kills in set two were both game-highs for the Crimson.

The third and fourth sets followed along the lines of the second set, as Harvard edged out Brown by a score of 25-20 in set three and 25-21 in set four.

The team finished with a kill percentage of 0.311 and 68 team digs, while totaling 58 kills.

“We really played as a team and our chemistry is what helped us win,” Cornelius said. “ We got our passes down, Erin[McCarthy] was able to give me some really good balls, and I was able to find some open spots on the court.”
