“As with any National Championship with fencers of such high quality, we had our ups and downs," head coach Nikki Franke said. "The most important thing is that we never gave up and fought for every touch. We had some very good wins against some outstanding fencers and hope to get more tomorrow as we conclude the competition. We just have to be confident and continue to work hard.”
