ITHACA, N.Y. – The University of Pennsylvania's men's and women's fencing teams completed action at the 2022 Ivy League Round-Robins Sunday evening, with the men finishing in fourth and the women, after going 3-0 on Sunday, finishing in third.
Eight Quakers in all finished among the top six in their respective weapon, earning All-Ivy honors, including First-Team selections
Sabrina Cho (women's foil) and
Vivian Lu (women's sabre).
Cho finished tied for second in her weapon with 14 wins in 18 bouts, just one bout victory shy of taking the foil championship. Lu, after just missing the All-Ivy team last season with a seventh place finish, took third with 13 wins in 18 bouts.
Three other women were named Second-Team All-Ivy, including the epee pair of
Chloe Daniel and
Jessica Liang, who each finished tied for fourth with 12 wins in 18 bouts, the third career All-Ivy honor for both seniors. Like Lu, foilist
Katina Proestakis Ortiz bounced back from a seventh place finish last year and grabbed fifth for her first career All-Ivy honor.
Three men's fencers earned Second-Team honors, including the foil duo of
Blake Broszus and
Davide Lorenzoni, who each finished with seven wins in 12 bouts; Broszus earned Second-Team recognition for the second straight year.
Isaac Herbst rounded out the Quakers' All-Ivy honorees, making the Second Team in epee.
After finishing the first day of round-robins 1-2, the women picked up decisive victories over Brown and Harvard sandwiched around a close, 15-12 win over Yale.
The men split their two bouts on Sunday, picking up a narrow, 14-13 win over Yale before falling to runner-up Columbia.
