The Harvard men's and women's fencing teams got off to a mixed start to their seasons against Brandeis last night at the Malkin Athletic Center:
"We worked out our jitters in the first half," women's co-captain Kristen Hughes said. "I think the last bouts are a sign of things to come. Brandeis is usually pretty good, although they are not our toughest opponents."
In men's fencing, a team is broken down into three squads: epee, foil and saber. Brandeis was much more experienced with three returning members on the foil squad and two members returning on the epee squad. In total, over half its team consisted of returning fencers.
As a whole, Harvard's foil squad lost 6-3. However, the squad's highlight was freshman Edward Kim's victory over Brandeis senior Ken Benet, who had defeated Leeuwen earlier in the match.
The performance of Harvard's epee squad was the most disappointing. The epee squad was crushed by Brandeis, 8-1.
