Yale Defeat Sacred Heart, Vassar

Class of 2020
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - At the Bulldogs' only home meet of the season, the Yale men's fencing team defeated both Sacred Heart and Vassar 20-7 due to great skill and effort displayed by all members of the team.
 
The morning began with a match-up against Vassar. The Bulldogs came out on top the last time they fenced against Vassar and they were happy to maintain their winning streak. The foilists had a strong showing with a squad record of 7-2 and four members going undefeated: Cameron Allen, Earnest Chen, Allan Ding, and Maxwell Yee. The epeeists also posted a 7-2 record with seniors Safi Haider, Malcolm Miller, Isaac Shelanski, and Mati Zeff going undefeated. The saber squad handled their bouts ably, going 6-3 with all members winning the majority of their matches.
 
The Bulldogs then faced off against Sacred Heart, also winning 20-7. The saber squad swept their matches against the Pioneers, with Kevin Callahan, Elijah Hong, and Andrew Zhang all going undefeated. The foilists posted a 6-3 record with Earnest Chen and Allan Ding going undefeated. The epee squad was also victorious, with Malcolm Miller and Isaac Shelanski going undefeated again, meaning that both seniors managed a perfect record during their final home meet. 
 
Following the bouts, the Bulldogs recognized the contributions of the graduating seniors: foilist Aiden Ahn, and epeeists Malcolm Miller and captain Isaac Shelanski. Joined by friends and family as they were honored with applause and flowers, the Bulldogs wish all of their seniors the best with whatever is to come. The seniors have served the team well as mentors, friends, and teammates.
