Hill quickly rallied, with the fourth game ending 11-8, and sealed the deal with an 11-6 victory in the fifth game.
Dartmouth took the No. 3, 6, and 7 spots defeating freshman Zeke Scherl, Cohen, and senior Alex Lavoie. Scherl and Cohen lost their matches 3-1 while Lavoie lost 3-0.
“This was a good win for us,” Endresen added. “It was good to beat them and really make a statement there. We’ve got young guys stepping up, which is nice.”
The Crimson’s match on Saturday against Cornell will prove to be a similar challenge, with the Big Red ranked right below Harvard at No. 6, but Bajwa believes that his team will be prepared.
“The next match is a touch-and-go match like this one was. We can only prepare 100 percent and see how it goes,” he said.
“Everyone just has to go out there and play really well,” Endresen said. “Cornell has a deep team. A lot of young guys. All of their spots are strong.”
Cohen echoed a similar sentiment.
“I think we’re in a good position,” he said. “It will definitely be a tough match. Individually everyone has their own things to work on.”
