take place in the seventh floor fencing salon in the Payne Whitney

also defeated Sacred Heart by a final score of 15-12. Drew was a
new addition last year.
Team captain Andrew Holbrook is looking forward to the meet as a
tuneup for the Ivy Championships.
"We are all excited for our final home meet of the season," he
said. "As we head into the break before Ivies, it will be important
for us to come out focused and ready. We want to make the most of
this final opportunity to prepare for the Ivy League tournament.
Against Sacred Heart, we will need to be prepared from the first
bout, but we are confident that we can win against both
schools."
