UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Select members of the Penn State men's and women's fencing teams participated in the International Collegiate Tournament in Singapore last week. They fenced fencers from other NCAA powers (Columbia, Brandeis, Stanford, Northwestern, Princeton) as well as fencers from China, South Korea and Singapore.
Three Nittany Lions brought home individual titles while two others garnered bronze medals.
Penn State swept the sabre bouts as Zara Moss (Cranberry Township, Pa.) won women's sabre, and Inti Farfan-Bayerl (Morrison, Co.) won men's sabre. Senior Barbara VanBenthuysen (Spring, Tx.) continued the winning ways earning the win for women's epee. A pair of Nittany Lions, Isabella Zuzulo (Newtown, Pa.) and Shane Iverson (Basking Ridge, NJ), took third in women's and men's foil respectively.
Penn State continues action on September 21st-22nd when it hosts the Nittany Lion Open Cup in the White Building.
