The Yale men’s and women’s fencing teams squared off against New York University in their first bout of the season last night at Payne Whitney Gymnasium.
After the fencing room, located on the seventh floor of the gym, quieted from the clanging weapons and the booming cheers, both teams took stock of the night. The women’s team won comfortably, 17-10, defeating the Violets 7-2 in sabre and 5-4 in both foil and epee. The men, on the other hand, lost 15-12, going 3-6 in sabre and foil and 6-3 in epee.
