WEST POINT, N.Y. - For a 20th year in a row, head coach Nikki Franke and the Temple fencing team won the Olympians Trophy at the National Intercollege Women's Fencing Association (NIWFA) Championships. The Owls took the team title as well as two weapon titles, finishing ahead of second-place Stevens in all three.
Temple took titles in both foil and sabre, and finished second to Stevens in epee. Despite the runner-up finish in epee, the event was a highlight for the Owls who had the maximum three fencers quality for finals. Freshman Fiona Fong was the top finisher for Temple at the meet, taking third in epee.
