The fencing team continues to roll over non-league opponents, but that Ivy competition won't ease up.
On a weekend trip to New Jersey, Harvard whipped Rutgers 16-11 Friday night, but then fell to Princeton by the identical score Saturday. The Crimson now stands at 10-4 overall, but 0-3 in the Ivy League.
The strong event for Harvard was the foil. Against Rutgers, the foil fencers romped, 8-1. Charles Dooley won three times for Harvard, and Tom Musliner was 2-0. Dependable Dooley took three more matches in the 6-3 foil victory over Princeton.
But in epee, the results were disastrous. Harvard's epee fancers lost, 6-3, to Rutgers and were blitzed by Princeton, 8-1.
The sabre event proved decisive in the Princeton match. The Tigers managed to win, 5-4, but all of the five Harvard losses came by 5-4 scores. Crimson captain Jon Kolb, after dropping a nip-and-tuck opening match, bounced back to win his next two. Against Rutgers, the sabre fencers won, 5-4.
