It's a sport that most people think about only when the Olympics

automatically. But when it comes to college fencing, the names of

performance from sophomore
Erzsebet Garay (Budapest, Hungary), the St. John's fencing team
combined for 162 points to finish third overall.
Notre Dame captured the team championship, coming from behind to

behind Notre Dame in third place, while Penn State finished fourth
with 145.
