Woodbridge def. Harvard, 15-11, 15-7, 15-10--The defeat eliminated Harvard from the Southern Section 4-A playoffs in the first round. Woodbridge’s key player was 6-7 sophomore Adam Keefe, who patrolled the net and shut down Harvard’s offense. He also finished with 22 kills.

Woodbridge finished third in the Sea View League but was still ranked eighth in the Southern Section. Harvard was unranked entering the playoffs.

“When he plays with a lot of confidence, he takes over,” Woodbridge Coach Steve Stratos said of Keefe. “He’s one of the best hitters anywhere.”

Harvard, which won the Ocean League, struggled in the first game after jumping out to an early lead.

With leading hitter John Phelps still suffering from the flu, Harvard’s offense faltered. Nonetheless, Phelps had 21 kills.
