The senior core of the team then displayed their might as the Harvard wrestlers pinned the next three Columbia wrestlers. At 157-pounds, Tom Kiler took down his opponent in 2:36. Kurtz, at 165-pounds scored his pin in 2:13, while Killar, wrestling again in Mosley's 174-pound class, took down his foe in just 0:52.

At 184-pounds, Lee posted a 6-2 victory while Rechul rounded out the scoring at heavyweight with a dominating 12-2 major decision win.

"We needed the meet [against Columbia] to bounce back from our loss," Rechul said.

The Crimson now enters the most intense part of its training as it sets its sights on the approaching EIWA tournament.

Harvard will face its last set of dual meets this weekend as they wrestle away at Brown on Friday and Boston University on Saturday. Though not ranked as high as other teams the Crimson has faced in the past couple of weeks, Brown is a strong team that upset Harvard last season. The Crimson also has even more incentive for a win, as Coach Weiss worked as an assistant coach there before coming to Cambridge.

"We match-up pretty well with Brown," said Picarsic. "It is a good last weekend of matches to have going into EIWAs."
