The NYU men's fencing team has registered one of the more noteworthy upsets of the 2009 college fencing season, edging #4 Columbia in a 15-12 match at the NYU Duals. The Lions won the foil (6-3) and epee (5-4) competition, but the Violets stunningly won all but one of the sabre bouts (8-1). The #4 Columbia women wrapped up a dominant way by defeating NYU, 23-4. The Lions women dropped only 12 total bouts spanning Wednesday three wins (vs. Sacred Heart, Vassar and NYU).
A wrapup of this event is coming soon, on the CF360 blog.
