The men followed up the Columbia loss with an impressive romp of Tufts, 22-5.
"We were really pumped up for Tufts after the loss," Lee said. "We focused on fencing cleanly."
In both foil and epee competitions, Harvard claimed eight bouts. In sabre, it hung on for a 6-3 advantage.
The Crimson women also turned in solid foil and epee performances despite the nationally ranked competition that they faced. They lost 3-6 in both divisions.
Crimson junior Emily Katz took two bouts from Columbia in foil. Freshman teammate Sian Kleindienst captured two victories in sabre.
The sabre has been a concern for both Harvard teams. Going into the weekend, the men were 3-15 in sabre action. The women were only slightly better at 4-14.
However, the women showed promise this weekend, competing well in the sabre division against the more experienced Columbia squad.
