Finally, in the third game, Dartmouth put up a fight. The Harvard serve receiving had some holes, and the Dartmouth servers took advantage. Even though Harvard took the lead early, Dartmouth pulled back to 11-9 with the help of a five-point run. The Crimson got stuck in some rotations where the passing simply broke down, and so did its consistency.

It's a tribute to the college's richly intimate teaching traditions: its fewer than 1,000 students, from all economic backgrounds, often learn as much over dinner and wine tastings at professors' houses...
