Quotable
> "The team did an outstanding job in maintaining their focus and energy over an eight hour-long day of competition. We showed strength and depth across all squads and our epee squad went 6-0! We had a tight lost to Northwestern in the second round but we reset and came out on top against Stanford, then convincingly defeated UCSD after they beat us earlier in the season. Tomorrow we are read to keep it going and complete the weekend on a high note." – head coach Jennie Salmon
