A trio of New York University men's sabre fencers won the silver
medal at the Division 1 North American Circuit Event, which was
held in Virginia Beach, VA, on Saturday, January 18.
NYU's threesome of sophomores Andrew
Kelly and Alec Martini, and
freshman Quinten Burgunder advanced to the
Round of 4 by defeating the Gold Coast sabre team 45-35.
The NYU trio then defeated the University College of San Diego
45-37 to advance to the gold medal bout. In the final, the
Violet fencers competed against the Peter Westbrook Foundation and
lost a close match for the gold medal 45-39.
"The final was a great match which saw several lead changes," said
NYU Head Coach Steve Mormando. "It was a
close-fought match all the way. Our athletes did a great job."
