Following its largely successful preseason run, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team opened Ivy League play with a closely-contested 3-2 win over Harvard University on Saturday, marking the team's fifth straight win over the Crimson (7-4, 0-1 Ivy). While co-captain Annie Villanueva '12 said the win did not necessarily showcase the Big Green's finest effort, she expressed satisfaction with the team's display of patience and discipline in the win. "It was really intense back and forth play, but I really trusted that we were going to win," Villanueva said. Co-captain Amber Bryant '12 agreed, calling the game a "grind" in spite of her belief that the Big Green could conquer the Crimson. The Big Green (9-3, 1-0 Ivy) jumped out to a 16-8 lead in the first set, but Harvard stormed to take a 20-19 lead of its own.
