CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Brown fencing began its 2021-22 season in strong fashion winning all seven contests at Northeast Fencing Conference Meet No. 1 on Saturday at MIT.
"I'm so proud of our women's team for their performance today in their first competition since the pandemic," said head coach Alex Ripa. "They had an extremely strong showing over a long day of competition, with only one close match against Tufts. Undefeated today, I'm looking forward to NFC #2. This team has been through a lot, and they represented Brown like champions."
The team earned wins over Sacred Heart (26-1), Massachusetts (24-3), Wellesley (19-8), New Hampshire (27-0), Tufts (15-12), Smith College (25-2) and Boston University (23-4). Overall, Brown outscored its opponents 159-30.
As a team, Brown's foil went undefeated at 7-0 (54-9 composite), as well as sabre at 7-0 (53-10). Brown's epee posted a 6-1 record (50-13).
Sophomore Anika Breker led the team in the foil with 18 wins while sophomore Anisha Kasi and Samantha Chon each had 17 wins. Freshman Rebecca Whang was perfect on the day with an 18-0 record in the sabre. Casey Chan went 16-0 in the sabre.
