Garfield, NJ (May 21-22, 2022) — Keeping strong until the very end…

Men’s saber fencer Matthew Fields and women’s foil fencer Sabrina Fang kept their level of intensity up this weekend, both medaling in the final ROC before Summer Nationals in July.

Fields worked hard in his direct elimination bouts, winning 15-12, 15-11, 15-13 until he was taken out 12-15 to take eighth place.

Fang’s journey was slightly easier, starting in first place after pool bouts. Her direct elimination bouts were 15-6 and 15-12, until she was trounced 7-15 to take fifth place.

New Tim Morehouse fencer Holly Buechel gave a valiant performance in Women’s Epée at her first competition in three years, coming in tenth. Welcome back!

Congratulations fencers, coaches and parents!
