Nearing the end of its season, Penn State waited patiently to hear which fencers would be traveling from University Park to Boston next week in pursuit of another national title.
After the regional competitions concluded, the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Fencing Committee announced that 10 Nittany Lions will compete in the 2016 NCAA Championships.
Of 12 spots possible per team, the Lions were able to secure only two less than the maximum two people per gender for each weapon.
Securing selections for the Lions to compete in women’s sabre are junior Teodora Kakhiani and sophomore Kathryn Charpin.
