PRINCETON, N.J. - After more than a month away from competition, the Princeton men's and women's fencing teams resume their 2005-06 schedules right where they left off, at Penn State. In State College, the Tigers are slated to face off against the host Nittany Lions, NYU, Rutgers and North Carolina with competition beginning at 9 a.m.
Penn State also hosted the Garret Open, the only competition thus far for either the Tiger men or women, on Oct. 22-23. At that meet, 13 women competed, with senior returning All-American Jacqueline Leahy taking top billing among Tigers across all three disciplines, finishing third in the foil at the individually scored meet. On the men's side, Princeton had 16 competitors with sophomore Tommi Hurme and senior Ben Solomon, another All-American, finishing second and third, respectively, in the épée.
Following the five-team meet, the Princeton men are away from competition until Jan. 29 when Vassar visits the Jadwin Fencing Room in the only home meet of the year. The Princeton women are away from competition until Feb. 5, when both Tiger squads compete in an Ivy League event held at Cornell.
