What to Know

- Harvard has defeated both Cornell and Columbia earlier this season on the road. The Crimson earned their first 3-0 sweep of the season over the Big Red, lead by first-year Brynne Faltinsky's career-high 13 kills. They then took down Columbia 3-1, once again with a strong performance from Faltinsky. She went on to earn Ivy League Rookie of the Week after the two matches.

- The Crimson are currently 4-6 in Ivy League contests and hope to even their slate this weekend, which keeps them in the running for the Ivy League Championship Tournament, conducted between the top four Ivy League teams.

- Friday night's matchup against Cornell will also serve as a fundraiser to raise awareness for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The Harvard Volleyball Team has teamed up with Vs. Cancer, a signature fundraising campaign of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, to give these children a healthier and happier future.
