Fencers Open Season at Ohio State
November 17, 2014 | Men's Fencing, Women's Fencing
Princeton's men's and women's fencing teams opened their dual-match season Sunday at the Ohio State Duals with each team taking two of five matches.
Both teams competed against Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Penn, a group that included the No. 1, No. 4, No. 6, No. 8 and No. 19 finishing teams at last year's NCAA championships.
The women's team took a streak of 51 consecutive dual-match victories into the day and was able to extend that to 52 before Ohio State handed Princeton its first dual-match loss since the 2012-13 season with a 15-12 final. The women went on to pick up a win over North Carolina while losing to Notre Dame and Penn.
The men won their final two matches of the day, against North Carolina and Penn, after Penn State, Ohio State and Notre Dame picked up victories against the Tigers to open the day.
The event concluded with individual brackets, and senior foil Ambika Singh captured the bracket title in her weapon as the Tiger to advance the furthest.
Princeton will return to competition at the Sacred Heart Duals on Dec. 7. Results from Sunday's event are below:
