The young women's team showed great promise, besting Vassar 20-7 before dropping two close matches to Cornell and MIT. Four of the nine fencers in the starting line-up were freshman competing in their first collegiate dual meet. Freshman foilist Deanna Rakowsky, was 8-7 for the day while Senior Carrie O'Connor matched her record on the epee side.
Freshman sabreur Malcolm Conley was the standout for the BC men's fencing team, posting a 10-2 record for the day in action against Vassar, MIT, Yale and St. John's at the team's first dual meets of the season. The men's sabre squad as a whole was 3-1 in their portion of the meets. The team dropped a close one to an improved Vassar men's team before beating rival MIT.
Both BC teams return to action in January when they will face Brown, MIT and Brandeis in Northeast Fencing Conference action at Brown University.
