Both Princeton fencing teams ended the first day at the Ivy League round-robin on top in the race for their Ivy League championships.
Sunday, though, will decide it all. On the men's side, Penn and Princeton are tied at 3-0. Those teams will meet at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, and the Tigers can clinch a share of the title with a win. The women are 4-0 with Columbia also unbeaten at 3-0. Should both teams win their matches before, Princeton's and Columbia's women will go head-to-head in the final round at 1:45 p.m. for the Ivy title.
Rookie Maia Chamberlain is atop the women's saber standings at 9-0 with sophomore teammate Sage Palmedo right behind at 9-2, and senior épée teammates Katharine Holmes and Anna Van Brummen are both 12-0. Senior Edward Chin is the top men's saber fencer after the first day at 8-1.
