...Eduardo Welter—both hailing from Escola Barao de Rio Branco in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil—combined for 29 kills, 17 digs, and 7 aces to power the Highlanders past the Crimson. “Those two kids are quality,” Harvard coach Chris Ridolfi said. “They played with confidence, and we played like we were trying to come from behind. That mindset is difficult to overcome.” In the first frame—the Crimson’s best game offensively—Harvard stayed with NJIT early, matching...
...making the postseason were close to zero. As expected, ESU swept the Pioneers, clinching the Hay Division and breaking the Crimson players’ hearts. “[The loss to New Haven] affected us in practice yesterday—we practiced mournfully,” Harvard coach Chris Ridolfi said. “And tonight, we just didn’t stick with the game plan.” In the meantime, unaware of the goings-on in the Warriors’ match, the Crimson opened with a weak effort, posting only a .097 hitting percentage in the first...

They make a couple plays because they play hard, so they stay in the game...
...Crimson coasted to another 30-24 victory. “We came out slow, but we were able to turn it on,” McKiernan said. “That’s the sign of a mature team.” Game three gave Harvard coach Chris Ridolfi yet another opportunity to rotate his less experienced players in, with freshman Jeff Nathan and sophomore Jamie Crooks seeing time. And despite having different players in the lineup, Harvard’s offense stayed on track, posting 16 kills on .345 hitting to close out the match...
