The Crimson was led by a standout performance from a foil squad that benefited from the return of previously-injured sophomore Hao Meng and the continuation of strong play from co-captain Kai Itameri-Kinter.“Hao looked a little jittery, but against BC the foil squad went 8-1, and this was a really good one for them…they were our strongest squad...
