PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Freshman Timmy Frank, senior Umar Masood, and sophomore Arianna Ferretti posted 12, 11, and nine wins respectively to lead Brown University fencing at the Philadelphia Invitational on Saturday at the University of Pennsylvania's Tse Center.

"The team fenced well today in one of the toughest events of this season's campaign," Brown head coach Alex Ripa said. "The Philadelphia Invitational is a who's who of collegiate fencing, and the Brown Bears emerged victorious over Haverford on both the men's and women's sides while also coming away from the day with strong victories in the various squads. All-in-all, the team performed like a team on the move."

Frank (Portland, Ore.) led the Bears with a 12-6 mark in men's epee, and Masood (Pittsford, N.Y.) supported him with an 11-7 record in men's foil. Sophomore Nathan Sinai (Merion Station, Pa.) compiled an 8-10 record in men's epee.

Ferretti (Old Field, N.Y.) paced the women with a 9-3 record in women's epee. Sophomore Ally Zhu (Shanghai, China) finished 6-3 in women's epee, and sophomore Signe Golash (Syracuse, N.Y.) posted a 6-6 mark in women's sabre.

In the team results, the Bears combined for a 2-9 record as the women went 1-4 and the men finished 1-5.

The men topped Haverford (14-13), while falling to Sacred Heart (14-13), No. 10 Duke (19-8), No. 9 Penn (22-5), North Carolina (21-6), and NYU (21-6). The women defeated Haverford (20-7), while dropping decisions to No. 8 Duke (21-8), No. 9 Penn (18-9), North Carolina (21-6), and NYU (20-7).

At the squad level, men's epee went 2-4 with a 24-30 composite mark, men's foil went 1-5 (15-39 composite), and men's sabre finished 1-5 (13-41). Women's epee notched a 2-3 record (22-23 composite), women's sabre went 1-4 (13-32), and women's foil finished 0-5 (13-32).
