The New York University men's fencing team competed at the George Kolombatovich Memorial Meet hosted by Columbia University on Wednesday, February 12. 

The Violets won all three of their matches, defeating host Columbia (16-11), Vassar College (18-9) and Sacred Heart University (26-1). They finished the dual-meet season with a 20-8 record.   

The men were led in foil by Eric Zobel (Seattle, WA/Lakeside), who tallied seven wins and was perfect against Sacred Heart and Vassar.

Grant Williams (Atlanta, GA/The Galloway School), Jamie Ren (Hong Kong, Hong Kong/The Lawrenceville School (Lawrenceville, NJ)) and Zachary Schindler (Cambridge, MA/Buckingham Browne & Nichols) all had identical 5-1 sabre records, while Liam Carpenter (Bedford, MA/St. John's Prep) took six bouts in epee.

"This was a fantastic evening," said Head Coach Steve Mormando. "The team had outstanding performances and was able to take down the number-one team in the country (Columbia). It was an honor to be their coach tonight."

Though the dual-meet season is over, the 2019-20 season continues when several Violets compete at the Junior Olympic Championships from Friday, February 14, to Monday, February 17, in Columbus, OH.
