M. fencing opens year with 2-2 split in Mass.
Yale’s foils shone in Waltham, Mass.
Led by its talented young foil squad, the men’s fencing team (2-2) kicked off its season at the Brandeis Invitational on Saturday by matching its record at last year’s tournament — although the Elis won more bouts overall than in 2006.
Yale beat Boston College and MIT in two close matches, but St. John’s and Brandeis, two consistently high-performing teams, overpowered the Bulldogs.
