A trio of Violets-- sophomore Grant Williams (sabre), junior Daniel Sconzo (foil), and freshman Will Zhang (epee), led the way with 2-1 records on the afternoon.
"Harvard is definitely a tough matchup," said NYU assistant coach Lauren Willock-Wunderlich. "Even though we did not win, we picked up some key victories against some of their top fencers."
