CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's volleyball team recorded historic performances, faced some of the top teams in the nation, and again reached the EIVA Tournament as it had a strong showing in 2025. 

The Crimson opened its season 5,000 miles from home and set high expectations for its season as it pushed the No. 4 nationally ranked University of Hawaii to five sets in its second match up. 

After the trip, Harvard returned home for several straight weeks and added five wins to its record.  Of those wins were a historic victory over No. 17 Penn State and two sweeps of Sacred Heart to start EIVA 3-1 for the second straight season. 

The Crimson eventually clinched the No. 6 seed in the EIVA Tournament to earn a spot in the postseason for the fourth straight year.  Harvard's season then came to an end as it battled against Penn State in the opening round. 

Harvard finished the year with an overall record of 9-15 and had four players earn All-EIVA honors.  James Bardin and Logan Shepherd represented the Crimson on the second team while Zach Berty and Owen Woolbert received honorable mention honors. 

At the conclusion of the 2025 season the Crimson says goodbye to seven seniors including Andrew Lobo, James Bardin, Callum Diak, Xuanthe Nguyen, Cooper Ribman, Logan Shepherd, and Owen Fanning.  The seven made impacts both on and off the court that have impact Harvard immensely over the past four season and will continue to show in the coming years.
