CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- After hundreds of bouts over two days, it came down to one last point between brothers to decide the Ivy League Men's Fencing Round-Robins title.

Harvard freshman Jerry Chang got the better of Penn sophomore and brother Jason Chang to break a 4-4 tie in the bout and a 13-13 tie in the match and lift Harvard to the 2013 Ivy League Round-Robins crown.

The teams went back and forth in the final match of the weekend, tied at 9-all, 10-all and 11-all. Then at 13-all, it came down to a family matter. Jerry Chang's final point actually earned him a spot on the first-team All-Ivy selections.

The Crimson had to win three matches on the final day to win the title, defeating Brown, 19-8, to open the day and then turning back Princeton, 16-11. It was Harvard's second title in three years -- both wins coming on the final point of the event. In 2011, Harvard beat Yale on the final point to claim the title.

Princeton's Michael Dudey was name the meet's Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie by the League's coaches. He went 14-1 on the weekend to help the Tigers to a second-place finish.

Columbia, Penn and Princeton wound up in a three-way tie for second, each going 3-2 on the weekend.
