Squads triumph in last home meeting

The Brandeis fencing squads hosted the Eric Sollee Invitational on Saturday, an annual opportunity for the Judges to showcase their talents throughout their lineup. As the hosts, the Judges strung together an impressive 9-1 combined record, suffering just one slim 15-12 loss at the hands of the New York University men's team. The women, meanwhile, blazed through the combined competition of New Jersey Institute of Technology, Stevens Institute of Technology, Haverford College, Hunter College and NYU. The Judges earned their closest victory, a margin of seven points, against Haverford College. Except for the loss to NYU, the men were dominant throughout the day as well, scoring over 20 points in every single match. Additionally, the invitational marked the last home meet for captains Julian Cardillo '14 and Vikki Nunley '14, who each turned in strong days for the Judges. At the lunch break of the meet, University President Frederick Lawrence made a surprise appearance, honoring the squad's seniors for their work and commitment to the team. Meanwhile, for the women's squad, foilist Caroline Mattos '16 led the charge, posting an undefeated 11-0 record on the day.

Prior to its final home game on Saturday against New York University, the women's soccer team honored its graduating seniors. All five seniors-forward Megan Kessler '14, midfielders Mary Shimko '14 and Maddy Stein '14, defender Kelly Peterson '14 and goalkeeper Leah Sax '14-fittingly were featured in the starting 11 to round out memorable careers.
