2.12.23 | Women's Fencing
TEANECK, N.J. - The No. 11 Temple fencing team had an impressive performance to close out its regular season slate, going 5-0 at the FDU Invitational.
Meet Summary
> The Cherry and White opened up the day strong with a 27-0 mark against host Fairleigh Dickinson.
> Temple kept rolling, defeating No. 8 (DIII) Stevens 21-6 and NJITÂ 18-9.
> The Owls closed the meet on a high note, topping Wagner 22-5 and No. 2 (DII) Tufts 16-11.
Individual Highlights
> Foilists Elizabeth Novoseltseva and Anastasia Yankovskiy went undefeated, 9-0 and 5-0, respectively.
> Margherita Calderaro (epee) and Anna Novoseltseva (foil) both went 8-1.
> Alexandra Weinberg led the sabre squad with an 8-2 mark.
Quotable
> "I'm very pleased with our team's performance today. 5-0 is where we expected to be at the end of the day, but it wasn't easy. Tufts and NJIT are both strong teams and Wagner is building its program. We knew we had to keep our energy up and execute to come out on top. The team continues to show depth in each weapon and we have athletes who, whether they start the meet or come in as a substitution, are ready when called upon for this team. Margherita, Alex, and Elizabeth had exceptional performances. It is great when the older ladies inspire the younger fencers like that. With the Temple Invitational coming up, we will be working hard to fine tune and meet some more of the top teams in the country." – head coach Jennie Salmon
