Men's Fencing Drops Four at Philadelphia Invite
Jan. 24, 2006
The Johns Hopkins men's fencing team returned to action on Sunday, January 22 at the University of Pennsylvania and suffered losses to Penn (17-10), Haverford (15-12), North Carolina (14-13) and Rutgers (21-6) to fall to 12-10 on the year.
In their closest match of the day the Blue Jays fell to North Carolina, 14-13. The foil was the only weapon the Blue Jays won as they picked up a narrow 5-4 win over the Tar Heels. Freshman James Einsiedler (Falmouth, ME/Waynflete) won all three of his bouts in the foil to lead the way against North Carolina, but the `Heels picked up 5-4 wins in both the saber and epee to pull out the one-point team victory. Sophomore Aaron Fernandes (Short Hills, NJ/Millburn) won 2-of-3 in the saber and freshman Max Mealy (Davis, CA/Davis) won 2-of-3 in the epee.
Senior Jason Park (Franklin Lakes, NJ/Ramapo) won 2-of-3 in the saber against both Penn and Haverford and fueled a 5-4 win in the saber against Haverford, but the Fords took the epee (6-3) and foil (5-4) to pull out the 15-12 win.
Penn won all three weapons, while Rutgers won the sabre (9-0) and epee (8-1), before the Blue Jays took a 5-4 decision in the foil. Junior Nick Marchuk (Ringoes, NJ/Hun) was both of his bouts in the foil to help lead the way in the 5-4 win against the Scarlet Knights.
Johns Hopkins will return to action on Sunday, January 29 when the Blue Jays host their own Invitational.
