This is all despite an epee squad that consists of a freshman walk-on, a former foil fencer, and just a single fencer trained in the weapon, despite a foil made up entirely of sophomores and despite a youthful sabre squad...

The foilists notched eight wins in each of the other two meets. The epee fencers couldn’t find that same rhythm. With a strong combination of senior Teddy Sherill and sophomores Billy Stallings and Karl Harmenberg, the squad beat a weak opponent in the form of BC by the slimmest of margins, 5-4, and fell to the Judges by the same mark.
