No. 3 freshman Dylan Patterson defeated Will Evans. At the No. 4 spot, sophomore Peter Karlen defeated Eric Pearson, while junior Andrew Merrill beat Peter Kelly at the No. 5 spot.
The B-team lost 3-2 in the first round of the 16-team draw to a New York City based club team and then fell to a Midwest-based club team 3-2 in the finals of a consolation draw.
Merill said Patterson and Wyant, who both were up against skilled players, had "breakthrough" victories.
"For those two it was a big win," he said. "For the rest of us it was a really strong first step for the rest of the season."
Wyant, while pleased with the win, cautioned against drawing too many conclusions.
The USSRA's tournament--which falls outside the purview of college athletics, with amateurs, professionals and non-collegiate teams all competing--is a prestigious one, but it is not the most coveted competition of the year.
The national championship in March and upcoming matches against other top-ranked teams such as Princeton and Trinity are much more important to the Crimson, according to Wyant.
