Volleyball Closes Season With Road Pair, Including Ivy Showdown At Harvard

HARVARD: Live Video l Live Stats
SACRED HEART: Live Stats

The Princeton men's volleyball team will conclude its 2016 season this weekend with a pair of EIVA road matches, including a showdown with the only other Ivy League program in Division I, Harvard. The Crimson will host Princeton Friday at 7 pm on the Ivy League Digital Network, while the Tigers will conclude their season Saturday (4 pm) at Sacred Heart.

Princeton head coach Sam Shweisky has been pleased with the way his team has continued to both battle and improve over the last month.

"The guys have stuck together, worked together and gotten better together," he said. "It says a lot about the culture of our program, and it inspires a lot of confidence as we move forward. As excited as I am about our future, all attention right now is focused on this weekend. The Harvard match is always a special one for us and we can't wait to represent our institution in this iconic Ivy match up."

The Crimson edged Princeton in a 30-28 thriller earlier this season, and rode that momentum for a victory in Dillon Gym. That victory gave the Crimson possession of the Ivy League Trophy (created by the two teams over the last several years), and the Tigers would love to punctuate their season by returning it to Dillon.

You can watch Friday's match live on the Ivy League Digital Network.

The season finale will be at 4 pm Saturday, as Princeton will look for the season sweep against Sacred Heart. It will be the final match for seniors Devin Stearns, Zach Shaw, Alex Schindele-Murayama and Michael Bagnell. Those four seniors have given their all to the program and hope to help the Tigers go out on a high note.
