“We didn’t do so hot at Ivy’s,” sophomore saber fencer Eric Zhao said. “It was definitely a tough experience for us, but we came back and generally fenced pretty well here.”
The saber squad, for which Zhao was one of the three competitors representing Harvard, won all of its matches, with a 5-4 victory over MIT, a 7-2 victory over BC, and a 6-3 victory over Brandeis.
“I’m not really disappointed in any way with how we performed as a team,” added Zhao.
The foil squad had the most impressive showing for the men’s team. The division managed to shut out Boston College and prevailed over MIT and Brandeis, winning eight out of nine bouts in both matches.
The men’s team captured the Beanpot victory last season, beating each opponent by at least ten points.
The Crimson has dominated in the nine years of the Beanpot, not having lost since its inception.
