COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State fencing program opened its team season with a dominating 8-0 sweep of the OSU Duals Sunday, marking the Buckeyes’ 16th-consecutive win at this event. The women’s side finished 191-22 while the men finished 194-20.
Coach Donald Anthony Jr. on the day:
“It was a very good first dual meet for the season. We got the results I was expecting. The men’s foil team had a slow start at the beginning against Cleveland State, but they came right back. As soon as we get our new foil coach I’m sure they’ll be back in form as well.”
Buckeye junior Nicole Fisher on the OSU Duals:
“I felt very supported today. If I started losing, my teammates told me what I was doing wrong to get me back on track. It was also nice to support other weapons throughout the competition.”
