GRANVILLE, Ohio (Oct. 26) -- The Denison University women's fencing team enjoyed tremendous success Saturday at the 4th Annual Denison Open. The Big Red posted a dominant effort by taking eight out of the possible 12 medals. 
 
The competition included a total of 132 entries coming from all over the Midwest, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Indiana across six different events. 
  
Coach Grandbois commented, "It was a great day for the team. They fought hard, and they really supported each other all day. It was great to see them pumping each other up and pushing each other to give it their all. And the results showed!"
 
Specifically, in women's sabre, sophomore Corvus Endo took home gold with an exceptional win over London Waller from Cincinnati. A pair of juniors, Natalie Isberg and Joanna Passalaris, each won bronze in the event.

In women's foil, sophomore Lal Ertun took the gold, beating teammate freshman Elly Kennedy, who took home silver. Sophomore Alaina Cabalu took bronze in women's foil.

In the women's epee event, junior Maggie Zhu fenced in the final but had to settle for silver in a nail-biter match that came down to the last touch against Cleveland State's Rayllen Delfina Prafil Capaccio. Freshman Claire Anderson took bronze in the women's epee.
