The women’s sabre team finished 8-1 versus both Air Force and Haverford. Following suit was the epee team, which defeated the Falcons, 7-2, and the Fords, 5-4.

The women’s foil was the most successful weapon on Saturday, only losing one bout in defeating Air Force, 9-0, and Haverford, 8-1. Freshman foil Katherine Chou added another standout performance for her squad.

“We have a really solid foil squad,” said sophomore co-captain Noam Mills, who went 4-2 on the day for the epee squad.

“Kathy came in as a freshman and didn’t get a lot of chances at the beginning of the year,” she added. “Now that she’s getting the chances, she wants to prove to Coach she can do it.”

Even with the Crimson’s success, Brand admitted that there is a lot of work to do before the next competition.

“Fencing, it’s a long road,” Brand said. “You take any little gain you can build on and hope that the person has learned something and will get stronger as the season continues.”

Last Saturday was the end of the regular season for the Crimson, as its next competition will be for the Ivy Championship title.

In three weeks’ time, Harvard will begin competition against Cornell, Penn, and Yale in Ithaca, N.Y.
