NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - Boston College men's and women's fencing opened their season last weekend at the New England Fall Invitational, hosted by Smith University. Dubbed "The Big One", it highlights the freshmen class and the returning members of the squad from a successful 2002-03 campaign.
Three out of four BC men's foilists made the final of eight at the Fall Invitational last Sunday. Seniors Paul Taylor and Corban Rhodes, and Junior Will Lawrie all earned bids to the final matches. Freshman Alex Rios, fencing in his first epee competition after switching over from foil, placed 3rd in epee.
Strong performances by three sophomores highlighted the women's results. Ali Diquollo took third and Stephanie Mariconda sixth in sabre, and Clara Yum placed fifth in epee.
