Women's Fencing

It’s been a busy semester for senior fencer Eliza Stone. After winning the NCAA individual and team title fewer than two months ago, Stone was part of a four-person U.S. saber team that won gold over 18 other nations at the Korfanty Saber World Cup last Sunday in Chicago.

With strong showings by the entire team, Princeton separated itself from Notre Dame to win the NCAA Division I Fencing Championships in San Antonio on Sunday. It was Princeton’s first win at the NCAAs since the men’s and women’s tournaments were combined in 1990 — the men’s team won in 1964, and the Tigers came in second behind Ohio State last year. The men came into the tournament ranked third overall, behind Notre Dame and Penn State, and the women were ranked second behind Notre Dame.

The men’s and women’s fencing teams have placed fourth at the NCAA Championships at Ohio State University this past weekend, tying for the best finish the teams have had with the current scoring format.
