Before heading west, Harvard topped Sacred Heart and Rhode Island, split between a loss to Colgate. Junior Evelyn Gray leads the team with 66.0 points on the season so far, averaging 3.0 per set with 57 kills. Freshman setter Ashley Wang has 117 setups through just six games to lead the team. Sandra Zang (69 digs) and Sope Adeleye (30 blocks) lead on the defensive front.
