An awful lot has happened in the volleyball world since Dartmouth and Harvard faced each other for the first time of the 2014 season on Sept. 27, a match that opened Ivy League play for both teams. Almost a month ago, Dartmouth snapped Harvard's five-match winning streak with a 3-1 win in Leede Arena.
Home Sweet Home – Dartmouth had a busy weekend, hosting Princeton on Friday and Penn on Saturday. The Green won the first two sets (25-19, 25-19), but the Tigers took the next two (22-25, 18-25) to tie things up. The home team was able to finish what it started and claim a 15-11 victory in the final set to take the match. Against Penn the following evening, the Quakers got out to an early lead, winning the first two sets (25-21, 25-23) before Dartmouth was able to secure the next, 25-19. Penn ended the evening with a 25-17 fourth-set victory.
So Far in the Ivy League – The standings have changed quite a bit since last week. Having dropped just one match to Harvard earlier this month, Yale sits atop the league with a record of 6-1. The Crimson are second with a 5-2 record and the Green and White are tied for third with Princeton, which slipped from first following three straight losses.
In the Rankings – Both Paige Caridi and Emily Astarita remain in the top five in kills in the Ivy League. Caridi is tied for third with 216, while Astarita is currently fifth with 207. Julia Lau remains sixth with 257 digs, Stacey Benton is sixth with 5.95 assists per set and Lottie MacAulay is second with her 1.02 blocks per set.
Scouting the Crimson – Similar to the situation last time, Harvard is currently on a four-match winning streak after defeating Cornell (3-0), Columbia (3-2), Penn (3-2) and Princeton (3-0) over the last two and a half weeks. The Crimson's last loss was on Oct. 4 against Brown.
Next up for the Big Green – This is the only week all season that Dartmouth will play just one match. After a brief stint in Cambridge, the Green will make a stop in Connecticut on Friday, Oct. 31 for a 7 p.m. showdown with Ivy League leader Yale before traveling to Rhode Island for a 5 p.m. match against Brown the following day.
