ResultsThe New York University women's fencing team was defeated 16-11 by Stevens Institute of Technology on Thursday, November 6, at the Jerome S. Coles Sports Center in Manhattan.
The Violets won epee 6-3 and sabre 5-4, while falling 9-0 in foil.
"Actually very pleased with the result," said NYU Head Coach Steve Mormando. "We took them in sabre and we took them in epee, so we took two out of the three squads. We lost the overall women's meet because of foil. But, three of my foilists are overseas right now and coming back in January, while Audra Fox is recovering from injury."HIGHLIGHTS- Freshman
