Rebecca Ward won the coin flip with teammate Sada Jacobson, giving her the #1 seed and Sada the #2 going into the direct elimination table at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Becca took that turn of fate and cruised through the DE table to win the Grand Prix in a 15-10 trouncing of 11th seed Shin Mi Lee of Korea.
Coming off of a win in Havana, Sada Jacobson made it to the top 8 where she fell to France’s Leonore Perrus 15-12. In the surprise upset of the day, Mariel Zagunis fell in the round of 64 to 60th seed Sabina Mikina of Azerbaijan.
The individual results don’t have much of an impact to the US women’s seeding into the individual competition at the Olympics. The only possible shakeup would be a switch of Socha (POL) at #6 with Zagunis at #5.
The US Women’s Sabre team will fence in the team competition tomorrow.
