In five of the middle matches against Boston College, Harvard was more dominating, winning decisions in the 142, 150, 158, 167, and 177-pound divisions by a combined score off 55-6.

Winning for the Crimson were Mitra, Gerstung, Forlano, and Vandermyde.

Boston College forfeited the 142-pound division to Harvard sophomore Dylan Seff and later gave up the heavyweight match to Counihan.

The Eagles tallied their only points when Boston College's 190-pound Peter Folan earned a pin at the 44 second mark of the first period.

"We did well today, particularly in the Boston College match," Vandermyde said.

"A lot of people stepped up and put in good performances. I just hope we can continue wrestling well tomorrow."

Today, the Crimson are likely to have a tougher go of it when they host Rutgers, Albany and Pennsylvania at the MAC.

"Rutgers is tough, Albany always gives us trouble, and [Pennsylvania is coming off its biggest win in 10 years against Cornell," Pecham said, summing up today's challenge.

He and his wrestlers must face these formidable opponents without the services of captain Steve Aoki and senior Zach Cooper--both of whom are sidelined by injuries.

"Tomorrow could be a rocky day for us," Peckham said.

But to its credit, the Crimson goes into the match with the two big wins yesterday and a considerable amount of momentum.

"Everything's meshing these days," Davis said. "We're just starting our Ivy League season, and we're in the best shape we've been in since I've been here. Tomorrow will be difficult, but it will allow us to see just how good we are."
