...failed to join them as they had last year, and the women failed to reclaim their past glory. After going 2-1 in the first weekend of the Ivy Championships, the men continued at the same pace to finish third overall, falling to the Lions, 18-9, but defeating Brown, 21-6.

The men were simply overmatched in the meet against the Lions, with the lone close call coming in a 5-4 foil defeat. Junior...
