First-Round Pool Results from MAS

The MAS Regional is headed into round-2 for several of the pools. In men's epee, 11 fencers were eliminated following round-1 – most notably Princeton's Nat Sulat (#3 seed entering the Regional), Penn's Sam Monk (#13) and Harry Oppenheim of Johns Hopkins (#15). Princeton still is on track to receive two NCAA Championship bids in men's epee, as Ulat's teammates Graham Wicas (#1 initial seed) and Cooper Gegan (#2) both advanced.

It appears that there was a slight correction to the initial entrant list, which had included Drew's Michael Heumann as the #21 seed (he is not among the round-1 results). Duke's Graham Godwyn was not on the original entrant list but he fenced on round-1 and is advancing to round-2 (as the updated #16 seed).

Noteworthy round-1 performances were turned in by Penn's Jaob Wischnia (#12 initial seed, now #2) and Duke's Sam Schack (#17 initial, now #4).

More round-1 results/round-2 seeds to follow shortly from the MAS Regional (in all three women's weapons).
