...through the middle, and our middle hitters are better than theirs. So they played to our strength, and we were able to beat them twice.” But ESU kept winning, and the Crimson was left fighting for second place and a spot in the end-of-year EIVA conference tournament. With Springfield—who routed Harvard both times the two teams faced off—hovering right behind the Warriors, the Crimson could not afford any more losses. Harvard, however, could not maintain its win streak, dropping a five-game match to New Haven in its penultimate...
Even with injuries limiting him, Seamus McKiernan was The Man. The Harvard men's volleyball co-captain, an EIVA All-East second-team selection a year ago, continued to punish opposing defenses in 2006, leading the Crimson in total kills and kills per game. The senior finished 10th in the EIVA in kills per game despite being slowed during much of the season by a nagging shoulder injury. McKiernan posted some of his best numbers in Harvard's biggest games. In Harvard's March 18 victory over eventual Hay Division champion East Stroudsburg, the middle hitter registered 25 kills...
...With Wednesday’s loss to Hay Division opponent New Haven, the Crimson (10-11) needed East Stroudsburg (ESU)—who has only lost to Harvard this year—to drop its last two contests in order for the Crimson to make the EIVA playoffs.

Three times the Harvard men’s volleyball team has gone to overtime and three times it has come out the loser. New Haven (18-6, 6-4 EIVA) stopped the Crimson’s (10-10, 7-3) win streak at seven, winning in five frames (30-22, 20-30, 26-30, 30-27, 9-15) at the Malkin Athletic Center last night. In the fifth game, Harvard was plagued by the run, a problem it has faced all season long. After playing point for point up to a 6-7 deficit, New Haven won four straight points...
Facing two EIVA opponents this weekend at the 28th annual Golden Dome Classic, the Harvard men’s volleyball team, still playing without starting setter Dave Fitz, failed to capture a single game and remained winless on the season.While the matches against host Rutgers-Newark and division rival New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) didn’t figure in the Crimson’s league record, the weekend set at the Golden Dome in Newark, N.J., provided Harvard (0-6, 0-1 Hay) with a chance to evaluate how well it would match up against its conference rivals...
