EVANSTON, Ill. - Chalk up day one of the USFA Remenyik Open as a success for the Northwestern women's fencing team. Sophomore Lauren Dunn (Sacramento, Calif./Del Campo) led the Wildcats, winning the sabre title. With the win, she earned her United States Fencing Association"A" classification, the highest rank a fencing competitor can achieve.
"I've been doing this for five years," Dunn said. "To finally achieve that is the ultimate goal. We are also extremely satisfied with the performance of the team. What we did today is big for our program."
Freshman Emily Pasternak (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) advanced to the final eight in sabre, and Julia F?ldi (Budapest, Hungary/Szent Istavan Gimnazium) also had a big day for NU, finishing third in foil.
"I think it was good first day," F?ldi said. "I am pretty happy with how I did, and the team did well."
Northwestern resumes the final day of Remenyik on Sunday with the ep?e competition.
