Alexandra Keft was getting her ankle taped up as one of the biggest moments in Temple’s fencing history hung in the balance.
“I just rolled my ankle,” the senior epee squad captain said. “This is actually the second time I rolled it in the same way, and you just gotta keep pushing and finish the bout.”
Temple, ranked No. 7 in the CollegeFencing360.com Women’s Coaches Poll, started Sunday’s Temple Invitational with a bout against No. 1 Princeton University. Keft came out of the injury timeout to win the 14th point and hand the Tigers a 14-13 loss, the Tigers’ first of the season.
