FAIRFAX, Va. – The George Mason men's volleyball team (13-14, 7-9 EIVA) fell in three sets (19-25, 29-31, 21-25) to Harvard (12-12, 10-6 EIVA) on Saturday afternoon inside The RAC.

After honoring seniors Trevor Kennan and Richie Hoff, Mason took the floor with a different lineup than usual. Usually in the libero spot, Kennan took position as an outside hitter and sophomore Omar Hoyos filled in the libero spot.

Mason clawed their way back from the deficit to tie the game at 19-19 before continuing to go point for point down the stretch. After extra match points, Harvard took the win in the second set 31-29.
Mason threw out a third different lineup for the third set of the game and was able to go almost point to point with Harvard through the media timeout. The Crimson took the timeout to regroup to take the lead in the game to win the set 21-25.
