PRINCETON - Sweeps in both the foil and epee led the Princeton women's fencing team to a 24-3 victory over Sacred Heart Sunday at home. Princeton won all three weapons, including a 6-3 advantage in the sabre, and hope to have similar success when the Ivy League Championships begin in February.
Senior Jacqueline Leahy, junior Sara Jew-Lim and sophomore Peri Rosenstein each won their three matches in foil against Sacred Heart. The trio of junior Erin McGarry, freshman Jasjit Bhinder and senior Kira Hohensee matched that effort in the epee, sweeping all nine of their matches.
Sacred Heart put up its closest battle in the sabre, but a 3-0 effort from sophomore Cara DiGirolamo helped push Princeton to its winning 6-3 edge. Senior Caroline Block, junior Elan DiMaio and sophomore Allison Wuertz each won one match apiece.
Princeton will compete in Ithaca, N.Y., next weekend in the first weekend of the Ivy League championships. Princeton will face Cornell, Brown and Penn on Super Bowl Sunday.
