Harvard Women's Volleyball Gets Swept on Alumni Weekend
Entering the weekend, the Harvard women’s volleyball (8-8, 3-4 Ivy) team had a chance to make a strong statement at home against rival and perennial power Yale (11-3, 7-0 Ivy) and against other intra-league competitor Brown (6-11, 3-4 Ivy). Unfortunately for the Crimson, despite a strong performance in front of over a hundred fans and alums who traveled to Cambridge to pack the MAC against Yale, the squad was unable to overcome the might of the Bulldogs for its alumni game, falling short of greatness in four sets. The Crimson was unable to bounce back on Saturday, with a disappointing performance against the Bears leaving Harvard 0-2 on alumni weekend, and marking its first home losses of the season.
