WHAT HEAD COACH JENNIE SALMON SAID
"We wrapped up the competition today in Atlantic City with more impressive performances and results.  Our epeeists battled it out in the Division 1 Epee field that included world champions and Paris Olympians.  Grace Smith and Victoria Doroshkevich both had top 50 finishes. First-year Alexandra Papapetropolou's 10th place finish in sabre was an outstanding effort as well. We finished the day with a medal winning performance in foil from Constanca Dimas. After a day of rest we will get right back to it, preparing to head into our regular season."
