The Blue Jays fell to M.I.T., 16-11, to open the day, and dropped a tough 14-13 to Brandeis in its next dual. Hopkins then lost to the host Blue Devils, 19-8, and concluded its day with a 19-8 defeat to North Carolina.
Bouloubasis won 11 of 12 duals in the epee, while Bishe' went 9-3 in the foil. Daniel Frank (Mamaroneck, NY/Mamaroneck) finished 5-7 in the foil.
Sampreet Niyogi (Voorhees, NJ/The Lawrenceville School), Ryan Schwerzmann (Watertown, NY/Watertown), James Chen (Boston, MA/Lawrenceville School), Dave Kotlyar (Holland, PA/Council Rock), and John Majewski (Wrenthan, MA/King Philip Regional) each picked up three wins on the day.
