Last Time Out
The Harvard women's volleyball team kept its winning ways going Wednesday night with a 3-1 victory at New Hampshire. The win, which was the team's fifth straight, came by set scores of 25-14, 22-25, 25-20 and 25-16.

Sophomore Corinne Bain led the way turning in her second triple-double of the season. The Manhattan Beach, Calif., native totaled 13 kills, 26 digs and a career-best 18 digs while adding two aces and two blocks. Grace Weghorst contributed 12 kills and hit .333 on the night, with reigning Sports Imports/AVCA National Player of the Week Caroline Walters chipping in eight kills, a .353 hitting percentage and three blocks.

The Crimson combined for a season-best .312 hitting percentage with Hannah Schmidt also dishing out 18 helpers. Harvard's defense, meanwhile, limited New Hampshire (6-10) to a .135 percentage thanks in part to a 25-dig effort from Sindhu Vegesena.

Fast Start
At 7-2, Harvard has matched the 1984 team for the best record in program history through nine matches. A win on Saturday at Dartmouth would set a new mark for the program's best 10-match record, as no Crimson squad has begun a season 8-2. 

Just Keep Winning
Harvard has won five consecutive matches, tying the program's longest win streak since taking six in a row in 2008. In 1997, the Crimson reeled off 13 consecutive victories en route to a 25-9 overall record and a perfect 7-0 Ivy League mark.

Cardiac Crimson
The Crimson has displayed a flare for the dramatic this season en route to its 7-2 record. Harvard has trailed after the 15-point mark in 12 of the 22 sets it has won, including a 21-14 deficit against Northeastern which resulted in a 25-23 victory.

Nationally Known
Senior Caroline Walters was recognized as both the Sports Imports/AVCA National Player of the Week and the Ivy League Player of the Week on Sept. 23. The San Mateo, Calif., native led the Crimson to a pair of wins the previous weekend, averaging 3.11 kps and 1.11 bps while hitting .422 against Northeastern and Boston College.

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.

All-Around Performer
Sophomore Corinne Bain possesses a unique skillset which allows to her impact the game in every facet, and ranks among the Ivy League leaders in kills (13th, 2.51), assists (5th, 6.77), digs (21st, 2.37), blocks (15th, 0.69) and hitting percentage (8th, .283).

Feeling Honored
Sophomore Corinne Bain was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Sept. 16 after helping the Crimson to a 2-1 record at the Benson Hospitality Invitational. Bain led Harvard in kills (2.64), assists (6.82) and aces (0.82) while ranking second in digs (2.36), and third in hitting percentage (.333) and blocks (0.55).

This marked the first Ivy League Player of the Week award for Bain this season after collecting one player of the week and five rookie of the week honors last year.

Can You Dig It?
Junior Sindhu Vegesena earned the starting role for the Crimson at libero and did not disappoint in the team's first weekend of action, averaging 5.91 dps in three matches at the Harvard Invitational and being named to the all-tournament team. 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 fourth most overall for the program in that time.

Tripling Up
Sophomore Corinne Bain has recorded eight career triple-doubles, including a 13-kill, 26-assist and 18-dig performance most recently at New Hampshire. Bain, the 2013 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, posted six triple-doubles a year ago, the second highest total by a freshman in the nation.
