Harvard jumped to an early 18-0 lead with pins by Jantzen at 149, sophomore Max Odom at 157 and sophomore Pat O'Donnell at 165.
After freshman P.J. Jones accepted a forfeit win, senior co-captain Francis Volpe recorded a solid 9-1 win in the 184-pound weight class.
Lee, encouraged by the wild support of football players who arrived in the middle of his match, pulled out a tight 4-3 win.
Junior heavyweight Dawid Rechul and 125-pound junior Kevin El-Hayek both made quick work of their Columbia opposition. Their two matches would end with pins in the first period.
And finishing off the sweep were the two Picarsic brothers--Matt at 133 and Nick at 141. They won their matches, 8-1 and 10-0 respectively.
"I think we were a little stung by the loss to Penn and we bounced back strong," Weiss said.
Strong may be an understatement for the way the Crimson competed on Saturday. In the first match of the day, sophomore Patrick O'Donnell faced the tough task of taking on Cornell's Clint Wattenberg, ranked No. 1 in the EIWA 165-pound weight class. O'Donnell pulled off an exciting 3-2 decision over Wattenburg.
