The 2023 Harvard Men’s Volleyball Team is young and talented, and getting better as the season progresses. We expect very competitive matches with these opponents, if the Crimson can’t win outright.
The Harvard Men’s Volleyball team has attained some very notable success over the past 10 years:
- HMV has made the East Coast Final Four in 7 of the last 9 years (excluding the Covid cancelled years of 2020 and 2021).
- HMV has achieved a top 20 national ranking or better consistently during most of the past 10 years, and now plays a very competitive top-15 type of schedule with recent trips to Hawaii, the West Coast, and the Midwest to compete against the various national powerhouse programs.
- In 2018 HMV won the EIVA for the first time ever (beating Penn State and Princeton), and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinal round vs. UCLA at historic Pauley Pavilion, where Harvard won the first set from UCLA (being only the 3rd Ivy team ever to qualify for the NCAA tournament, and the FIRST IVY TEAM EVER to win a game in the NCAA Tournament at that time) before losing 3-1. UCLA went on to the Championship game and lost in 5 sets to LB State.
Come out and watch some top collegiate men’s volleyball matches, and cheer on the Crimson!
