Princeton's women finished second and the men finished fourth as the Ivy League Round-Robin fencing championships came to a close Sunday afternoon at Yale.

The women won all three of their matches Sunday, defeating Brown 21-6, Cornell 20-7 and Harvard 14-13, but Columbia didn't relent in its pursuit of a title, completing a sweep of the league after capping Saturday's competition with a 15-12 win over the Tigers.

Columbia's men also completed the league sweep to finish 5-0 as Princeton split its two Sunday matches, defeating Brown 21-6 before a 16-11 loss to Harvard.

Team and individual standings are available here, and detailed bout results are available here (PDF).

Kasia Nixon won the women's épée title at 17-1 as Princeton had three of the top four in that weapon with Tatijana Stewart (14-4) and Charlene Liu (12-6). Sabers Riya Dave and Chloe Fox-Gitomer also had double-figure wins for the women, each at 14-4.

Épée Wesley Johnson led the men's team in wins at 11-4, just ahead of foil fencers Julian Knodt at 10-4 and Mohamed Hamza at 10-5.

The Tigers will be off from competition next weekend before heading to the Temple Duals Feb. 24.
