A handful of teams are competing today in Hoboken, N.J., at the Stevens Tech Invitational. There's some conflicting information online, as to what teams are participating, but it appears that the field includes Cornell, Sacred Heart, Stevens Tech, Lafayette and N.J.I.T. We will attempt to get some result info. and pass it along on the blog.
Cornell (which sponsors only a women's fencing team, on the varsity level), has four fencers on its current roster who competed in the 2008 NCAAs: sabreist Alexandra Heiss (13th; also 20th at the '06 NCAAs), foilist Jessica Tranquada (16th), and the epee duo of Sallie Dietrich (22nd) and Tasha Hall (23rd).
Sacred Heart also has an NCAA Tournament veteran on its squad, in women's sabreist Krista Bacci (22nd, in '08).
