...first seven bouts, a slight blip in the radar was capped off by a final-bout victory. Parker was the lone sabre fencer to fall, accompanied by sophomore Eva Rosenberg and freshman Alexandra Sneider’s 3-0 finishes. “The same goes for our saber fencers [as for our foil fencers],” Brand said. “It’s a young team, but they mesh really well and they’re performing exceptionally well.” The epee continued to be the weakest link for the Crimson, struggling to find...
...road north out of town, then a left on the dirt track to Nieu Bethesda. There, at the foot of Lootsberg Pass (just follow the signs), you'll find the Kitching Fossil Exploration Centre, the world's best record of the Permian period (250 million years ago) when saber-toothed, tiger-sized lizards called gorgonopsians preyed on herds of herbivorous dicynodonts, which had tusks and tortoise-like beaks. Nieu Bethesda has other attractions. The Owl House, decorated with finely ground multicolored glass, was the home and life's work of "outsider" artist Helen Martins, and it's now a museum...

Saber, too, fell below its potential, losing to Brandeis, 5-4, despite crushing BC and MIT 7-2 and 8-1, respectively. “We’re not as strong as we were in years past,” Harvard coach Peter Brand said. “I expected more from...
...first competition in nearly eight months, the Harvard fencers posted a valiant effort, finishing with particularly strong performances in the women’s saber and men’s foil. Traveling to State College, Pa. for the Penn State Garret Open this weekend, the fencing squad wasn’t sure what to expect from both the seasoned veterans and its rookies, but both took on the challenge and fenced at their highest level. As an individual-based tournament, the meet provided an arena for returning fencers to get themselves reacclimated to competition, while freshmen saw their first collegiate...
