...This year we weren’t the underdog like we were last year; everyone was out to get us, so we didn’t take anything for granted.” The women’s sabre squad beat Penn, 7-2, and the foil won, 5-4, with foilists Stinetorf and senior Emily Cross both going 5-1 in their bouts. Epee narrowly lost, 4-5. “Sabre, 7-2, against Penn was a really good score as Penn has a very strong sabre squad,” Stinetorf said. “But what...
...Boston College at the Malkin Athletic Center yesterday in their last competition before the second round of the Ivy League Tournament in New York this weekend. The men’s and women’s squads both posted 22-5 finishes over the Eagles with wins in epee, foil and sabre, a sound result that, following a victory over Columbia last weekend, puts them high on the list of contenders for the title of Ivy League Champions when they face off against Brown, Princeton and Penn on Sunday.

A senior Administraion official brushed aside the notion that the speech was timed to this week's grilling of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales over the NSA program, noting that today's speech has been in the works since last year. "It takes forever to sign off on declassification...
...ended Sunday with a 14-13 win over No. 3 Columbia, a team that was actually favored against the Crimson. With the score tied at 13 and one duel to go, senior Anne Austin, who had not lost a duel all afternoon, capped a 3-0 foil performance against the Lions en route to the victory. The win followed easier triumphs over Yale and Cornell in earlier action, by scores of 20-7 and 21-6, respectively. “We all came out really strong,” Austin said. “It was a very good meet...
