Last Time Out
The Harvard women's volleyball team won its ninth consecutive match Saturday evening at Penn, 3-2, to remain atop the Ivy League standings with just one final weekend to play. The victory came by set scores of 25-21, 26-24, 23-25, 21-25 and 15-11.

Corinne Bain posted a fourth-straight triple-double, 10th of the year, with 14 kills, 26 assists and 15 digs to go along with three service aces. Caroline Walters scored a team-high 15 kills and hit .440 while also notching seven total blocks. Kathleen Wallace and Grace Weghorst contributed 13 kills and 12 kills, respectively, with Weghorst adding 12 digs for a double-double.

Hannah Schmidt also finished with a double-double, registering 31 assists and 16 digs. Kristen Casey chipped in 12 digs and Sindhu Vegesena added 11 defensively.

Where We Stand
Harvard and Yale currently share first place in the Ivy League with identical 10-2 marks. The Crimson will close out the year at home this weekend against Columbia and Cornell, while the Bulldogs will wrap up their season by hosting Princeton and Penn. Should the two archrivals finish in a tie, they would both earn the right to be called Ivy League champion but would face each other in a one-game playoff to determine the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. That one-game playoff would be hosted by Harvard at the Malkin Athletic Center next weekend, with the exact date and time to be announced at a later date.

Princeton controls third place in the standings at 8-4 while Brown enters the weekend in fourth place with a 6-6 record. Penn is in fifth at 5-7 with Dartmouth (4-8), Columbia (3-9) and Cornell (2-10) in sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively.

Raising The Bar
With a 17-4 record entering the weekend, Harvard has turned in its highest win total since 1999 while setting a new program mark for the best record through 21 matches. This stands as the 10th time in program history that the Crimson has reached 15 wins and is the sixth time it has done so under head coach Jennifer Weiss. The 17 wins stand as the sixth-most in program history.

With a 10-2 record against the Ivy League, meanwhile, Harvard has also matched the highest conference win total in program history and can set a new mark with a win this weekend.

Cream of the Crop
Penn, Princeton and Yale have combined to win each of the last seven Ivy League titles and own a total of 31 conference championships amongst themselves. Harvard flipped the script on the perennial title contenders, however, going 6-0 against the trio for the first time in program history.

Fast Start
At 17-4, Harvard has set a new program record for most wins through 21 matches, besting the 1997 squad which began its season 14-7. That year's team went on to lose just two more matches the rest of the way, finishing with a program best 25-9 mark.

Just Keep Winning
Harvard has won each of its last nine matches, marking the program's longest win streak since taking 13 in a row in 1997.

Tripling Up

Feeling Honored

Walters' selection as the Sports Imports/AVCA National Player of the Week marked the first time a member of the Ivy League had garnered the award on the women's side. Senior DJ White of the Harvard men's volleyball team earned the honor in 2013, becoming the first Ivy Leaguer overall to be named national player of the week. Walters' Ivy League Player of the Week honor, meanwhile, was the first of her career.

Rookie on the Rise
Freshman Paige Kebe was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Oct. 14 after averaging 3.75 kps, 1.50 dps and hitting .281 in wins at Cornell and Columbia. Kebe's weekend included a career-best 22-kill performance at Columbia, with six of her kills coming in the fifth and deciding set.

Vegesena registered 22 digs in Harvard's first match of the year, a thrilling 3-2 victory over Santa Clara, before setting a new career-high with 34 digs in a 3-0 win over Central Connecticut State.

Vegesena's 34 digs against CCSU were the most by a member of the Crimson in a three-set match since 2008, the last year for which match-by-match statistics are available, and rank as the most in a three-set match in the NCAA this season.

Cardiac Crimson
The Crimson has displayed a flare for the dramatic this season en route to its 17-4 record. Harvard has trailed after the midway point in 23 of the 51 sets it has won, including a 21-14 deficit against Northeastern which resulted in a 25-23 victory.

Additionally, the Crimson has gone a full five sets on seven occasions, and has come out victorious in each.
