Quote
:We delivered our most rounded performance at this classic event to date.” head coach Juan Ignacio Calderon commented. “I am particularly proud of the physical and mental endurance it took for the team to accomplish that. Every squad delivered what was expected from them, but this time I have to highlight the undefeated run of the Men’s Epee squad that took on top schools like Notre Dame, Ohio State and Stanford.”
