FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Junior Signe Golash and freshman Casey Chan each posted 14-4 records in women's sabre to pace Brown University fencing at the Sacred Heart Invitational on Sunday at the Pitt Center.

"I'm very pleased with the effort and result of the team during this new addition to our schedule," Brown head coach Alex Ripa said. "Facing some of the toughest teams in fencing, Brown stood tall and brought home a couple of wins. I'm looking forward to our next meet and to watching this team keep pushing forward."

The Bears combined for a 4-8 team record on the day as both the men's and women's sides went 2-4 at the event.

The women earned victories over Vassar (16-11) and Sacred Heart (21-6), while falling to Penn State (19-8), Princeton (15-12), Temple (20-7), and NYU (16-11).
