2 Wins Each For WMC Boys, Girls Fencing Teams In Opening Quad Meet

LONG VALLEY, N.J. – Looking to continue the success of previous seasons with a handful of starters returning to the roster, the West Morris Central girls and boys fencing teams opened the season at Morris Hills High School last weekend in a quad meet.

Each of the teams came away with two wins, but some of the individual performances were as sharp as they come.

The quad consisted of Central, Morris Hills, Morristown, and Morris Catholic high schools.

The girls team beat Morristown and Morris Catholic, with the foil squad bringing down the house. The squad combined to win 26 of 27 bouts, lead by senior captain Brooke Solsky, who went 9-0, along with sophomore Lana Prieur, who also went 9-0. Junior Devon Howell went 6-0 in her bouts. In epee, junior captain Katherine Santsevich also went 9-0 on the day.

The boys had equal success, besting Morris Hills and Morris Catholic, and dropping to Morristown by just three points. Captain Zach Mange went 6-3 for the Sabre squad, which lead the day for the boys team with a 19-8 overall record.
