...fifth game, and both were marked by aggressive play and changing momentum. In the end, however, Harvard failed to secure what would have been its biggest victory of the season.The Springfield match was the Crimson’s best shot at an inside track to a berth in the EIVA conference tournament. Harvard is one game below .500 in the conference and entrenched in the middle of the standings.“At the end of the day, I’m disappointed, the team’s disappointed, and we’ve dug ourselves a hole...
...match.” Looking ahead, Harvard looks to continue their winning ways against considerably tougher opposition this weekend with NYU and Springfield visiting the Malkin Athletic Center.

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...
