Strong Serve Powers Penn State Past Harvard

By Will Desautelle, GoPSUsports.com student staff writer

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State improved to 3-0 in EIVA play with a dominant win against the Harvard Crimson in Rec Hall's south gym.

For Penn State, the story Saturday afternoon was its prowess behind the service line, along with a stifling defense that limited Harvard to a meager .115 team hitting percentage.

Erratic serving has at times been a point of emphasis for Penn State, but Saturday the Nittany Lions posted nine service aces to Harvard's two, while committing just 15 service errors, a number well below their season average.
