Women's fencing 8 (56 touches), Brandeis 8 (55 touches)
After Crimson captain Nancy Cooper dropped the first touch of the final bout in the Harvard women's fencing team's meet with Brandeis in Waltham last night, she needed to capture five straight points to give Harvard a one touch decision. Cooper garnered the fifth with ten seconds left...
Harvard has an early chance to redeem itself this Tuesday against Brandeis which finished second in the New England Women's tournament last year. After all, 9-1 doesn't sound all that bad.
At that point the roars of the vocal Brandeis crowd, which packed the court, were drowned out by the swishing of Harvard free throws. Brain Banks, Glenn Fine, Cyrus Booker, and Bob Allen picked up eight of Harvard's last ten points down the stretch at the charity stripe.
The Crimson began the second half by adding four points to its 57-48 halftime lead, thanks to a quick jumper by Allen and a steal by the pressing defense. Once again Harrigan prevented Harvard from blowing the game wide open by pumping in four more buckets for Brandeis.
