M. BASKETBALL | Elis rebound from rough weekend
Going into last weekend’s home games against No. 23 Harvard (18–2, 4–0 Ivy) and Dartmouth (4–16, 0–4 Ivy), Yale was riding a four-game winning streak in which it beat its opponents by more than 11 points per game.
FENCING | Bulldogs take up arms
While head coach Henry Harutunian has focused on coaching Yale fencing for 41 years, his greatest desire for the season, he said, is to maintain the men’s and women’s teams’ three-year standing as the varsity teams with the highest average GPA. But the team’s academic priorities have not stopped the Bulldogs from achieving distinction in the sport. This season, Yale has its eyes on the Ivy championships, and the men’s team is ranked 10th nationally.

Q+A: Kenny Agostino ’14
Before being named rookie of the year last season, forward Kenny Agostino ’14 was a two-time New Jersey Player of the Year, three-time state champion and school all-time leading scorer at the Delbarton School.

He sat with the News to talk about the transition to collegiate hockey, his try-out for the U.S. Junior National Team and the state of the men’s hockey team.
Halejian ’15 is Rookie of the Month
The women’s basketball team may call her ‘Little Sarah’ because of her quiet nature, but in her first season at Yale Sarah Halejian ’15 is already a big player for the Bulldogs. On Monday Halejian received her fourth consecutive and fifth total Ivy League Rookie of the Week Award. And if her successes on the court continues, Halejian may join the Armenian National Basketball Team this summer.
GYMNASTICS | Bulldogs tumble to Quakers
On Saturday, Jan. 28th, Yale lost in its home opener to the defending Ivy League Champions, Penn. The Elis scored 188.350, which could not match Penn’s 191.225. The Bulldogs started out strong on vault and bars but could not carry this momentum to beam, which resulted in the team’s three point loss.
W. HOCKEY | Elis blanked on home turf
It was an exhausting weekend for women’s hockey head coach Joakim Flygh. On Thursday, his first child, Josefin Francisco Flygh was born. The next night, he was at Ingalls Rink as the Bulldogs took on Harvard, the team he used to coach until coming to Yale two years ago.

SQUASH | Elis stay perfect
This season, the men’s and women’s squash teams have both won 23 games without a single loss. Pulling ahead of squash titan Trinity on the 18th, the men’s team was named No. 1 in the national rankings Jan. 22. The No. 1 Elis dispatched No. 13 Annapolis this Saturday to take their flawless season record record to 11–0. The women’s team also won against a No. 11 Brown this weekend with a perfect sweep.
