...middle of the court, firing ourselves up, yelling after every point,” co-captain Laurence Favrot said. Nonetheless, Harvard never really stood a chance in the fifth frame. The Crimson took the first point of the game but never led again, as the Highlanders opened up a margin of five points en route to a 15-11 win to close out the match. “We made a couple of key errors,” Favrot said. “We sort of changed the way we played and got a little tentative.” Harvard?...
