Senior Andrew Flanagan (165 lbs.) was a late scratch, joining sophomore Corey Jantzen (141) and rookie Zack Pope (125) as the third starter held out of the tournament.With the 125 and 141 positions empty, Harvard began all three matches with a 12-0 deficit, keeping the squad from posing a serious threat.“We took our lumps,” Caputo said...
