Cambridge, Mass. – The Harvard volleyball team started their weekend at home fighting a close battle against Columbia on Friday, Nov. 4. Harvard (5-14, 4-7 Ivy) fell to Columbia (5–15, 2-9 Ivy) 1-3 in four sets of 21-25, 25-16, 22-25 and 23-25.

As we have seen in multiple games this season, the Crimson have become experts at come-from-behind set victories. The Lions built up a lead in set one but the Crimson went on an eight-point run to tie it up later in the set, eventually falling 21-25. Set two dominated by the Crimson from the start, with Harvard building up a nine-point lead to win the set. The third set was a closer match with both teams making it to a 21-point tie before Columbia closed it out to take a one set lead in the match. The fourth set looked to be a runaway Lions win at the start but was once again tied up at 21. After a few long volleys, Columbia was able to put the match away.
