11.5.22 | Women's Fencing
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - The No. 11 Temple fencing team had another successful preseason meet, with four fencers placing in the top-8 and 11 placing in the top-15. Anne-Mai Melles (epee) and Eva Ventura (sabre) had team-leading performances, both tying for third in their respective weapons.
Meet Results
> Foilist Renee Oymann finished in seventh place, improving on her Temple Open finish by 22 spots.
> Anna Novoseltseva (eighth) and Anastasia Yankovskiy (13th) round out the top-15 foil finishers, while Elizabeth Novoseltseva placed 16th. Constança Dimas earned an 18th place finish and Gretl Merges finished 26th.
> Melles took home bronze after tying for third in epee, while Naomi Ross finished ninth and Sara Proctor finished in 10th.
> Margherita Calderaro finished in 12th and Sarah Park finished in 13th to round out the epee top-15 finishers, while Cindy Long finished in 22nd place.
> Ventura finished 20 spots higher than her Temple Open finish, with Zoe Turner (sabre) earning a 10th place finish.
> Diana Tiburcio, Alexandra Weinberg, Arwen Gormley, and Emma Pincus finished 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th in sabre, respectively.
Quotable
> "We had strong performances across all three squads today. Anne-Mai and Eva's third-place finishes definitely announced Temple fencing as a contender. It was a great opportunity for our ladies to compete against programs we expect to go toe-to-toe with when our regular season kicks off on Nov. 19. There were many close bouts, some we won and some we fell short in, but at this point in the season we are right where we need to be: recognizing our strengths and addressing the areas where we have room for improvement." -- head coach Jennie Salmon
Next Up
> Temple will get a week off from competition before opening team play at the Elite Invitational hosted by Penn on Nov. 19.
