"Epee has been doing well all year," Danics said. "They've always had close meets, which is good considering we didn't have an epee squad last year."

"The MIT win was a good way to start winding down the season," freshman Meredith Trauner said. "Against Wellesley, we want to perform some of the stuff we've been working on and get ourselves psyched up for the NCAA Regionals."

The individual qualifiers for the NCAA regional tournament, which is scheduled for March 4-5, have not yet been officially named, but the Crimson expects to qualify all four of its foil squad starters and two of its epee fencers.

For the men's team, the victory against MIT capped off a disappointing regular season.

"We've been struggling all season," captain Peter Tang said. "But it was our last meet of the season and we really fenced our best."

The men's team out-dueled its opponent in all three portions of the meet--winning 7-2 in the foil, 6-3 in the sabre and 5-4 in the epee.
