The two teams battled in game two before the Bears won it, 15-12. Hart led the Crimson once again with 12 kills and nine digs. Posipil had 11 kills and seven blocks and Denniston added another 11 kills. Harvard will face Sacred Heart and Marist at home this weekend before gearing up for the Ivy League Tournament, which will take place at Harvard's Malkin Athletic Center on November 11 and 12. That gives Harvard two weeks to prepare for the new season.
Every team goes into the tournament with the same chance.
While every year teams enter the tournament with a clean slate, the parity in the League this season gives every team a legitimate shot at the title. While defending tournament champion Princeton enters as the number one seed, the Tigers did not dominate other teams this season and fell to Dartmouth, a team that Harvard beat. With all eight teams going for the championship, the Crimson hopes the experience of its upperclassmen will provide an advantage. Harvard fought its way to the finals of last year's tournament before suffering a close loss. The upperclassmen, particularly the seniors, know how to get there.
