CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (3/26/100 – Here's
an updated (after day-2) overview showcasing the 24 women's foil entrants in the 2010
NCAA Fencing Championships. CF360 still hopes to fill in some
gaps, for final archival purposes (some data, even lack of headshots, is limited based on
what is available on the various school's website; also may add scorea from key round-robn bouts). Similar pages will
be completed for the other weapons at the 2010 NCAAs.
