Bulldogs Look to Extend Winning Streak    

Yale enters this weekend riding a five-match win streak, including four in a row at home, after its 3-0 victory over Brown last Saturday.  This weekend marks the first full weekend of Ivy League play as the Bulldogs host Harvard on Friday and Dartmouth on Saturday.  Yale stands at 5-5 overall and 1-0 in conference play.

Attar and DeJardin Earn Honor Roll Status

Kathryn Attar and Ellis DeJardin were both named to the Ivy League Honor Roll for their efforts in Yale's 3-0 win over Brown last Saturday.  Attar had 10 kills, nine digs, two aces and hit .364.  DeJardin had a double-double with 13 kills and 11 digs. 

Serving it Up

The Bulldogs held a 7-1 edge in service aces last Saturday against Brown and posted 37 in its first 10 matches. Yale's 1.59 per set average ranks second in the Ivy League. 

Yale Honors 2014 Team on Saturday

The Bulldogs will honor their 2014 Ivy championship team between games two and three.  The 2014 team finished with a record of 18-8 overall, 12-2 in conference play and won Yale's fifth straight league title.  After securing the regular season title –Yale's 5th in a row -- a tie with Harvard forced a one match playoff for the league's NCAA Tournament bid, which the Bulldogs claimed in a 3-0 sweep in front of a raucous Crimson crowd.
