Fencing at home and riding the momentum earned in its last two wins over Columbia and Brandeis, the Crimson dominated the Jumbos, 22-5. Harvard jumped on the win from the first bout and did not cede a single weapon to Tufts, winning epee, 9-0, foil, 8-1, and saber...
Both Stinetorf and fellow co-captain Anne Austin won 3-0 in foil, while sophomore Arielle Nagler took a 2-1 victory. Stinetorf did not cede a touch in her match...
