SPRING BREAK WRAP-UP

The men's and women's fencing teams qualified 12 — the maximum number — fencers for Nationals to be held this weekend at Stanford. This marked the first time that Princeton qualified the maximum number, which is essentially a requirement for a team to have a chance at winning the national title. Three other schools also qualified 12 fencers — Penn State, Notre Dame and Stanford.

The Tigers will have two athletes in each of the six weapons — Jason Burrell and Steven Wang in the men's epee, Aaron Filner and Dustin Reagan in the men's foil, Daniel Pratt and James Wallen in the men's sabre, Lindsay Campbell and Maya Lawrence in the women's epee, Eva Petschnigg and Mindy Rostal in the women's foil, and Libby Caputo and Alexa Chew in the women's sabre.

Despite a strong start to its season, the women's water polo team struggled against some of California's best college squads over Spring Break. Princeton dropped a tough 9-4 decision to No. 7 UC-Davis Mar. 15 before falling to California — the nation's top-ranked team — by a 13-6 score the following day. The Tigers' lone victory on the trip came against No. 17 Pacific Mar. 18.

Women's Golf

Traveling to Jacksonville, Fla. for the North-South Women's Collegiate Tournament over Spring Break, the women's golf team finished fourth with a total two-day score of 640 — one stroke ahead of arch-rival Yale. Freshman Vanessa Redman and senior Meagan Smith turned in the top two Princeton scores.

Outdoor Track

In their first meet of the outdoor season, the men's and women's track teams put forth impressive showings. Junior Scott Denbo finished first in the shot put, while senior John Mack placed sixth in the 200-meters. Senior Shawneequa Collier tied for second in the high jump.

Women's Tennis

The No. 46 women's tennis team fell to No. 62 UC-Irvine on Mar. 14 by a score of 7-2. Sophomore Julia Salzman provided Princeton with its lone singles victory. The loss was the Tigers' first of the spring season, snapping a strong run by Princeton.
