Also in foil, Cate Yoon (Seoul, South Korea) and Samantha Kim (Westlake Village, CT) each added a win. In sabre, Crystal Aiken (Eden, NC) led the squad with a 2-0 record, while Elizabeth Rowen (Santa Cruz, CA) went 2-1. Zsofia Schweger (Budapest, Hungary) and Diana Tantillo (Guayanabo, Puerto Rico) picked up one victory each.
In the second round, UMass downed Smith, 19-9, with 7-2 wins in epee and foil and a 5-4 win in sabre. Kelsey Erickson led the UMass epee squad with a 3-0 performance, while Kelly Lynch went 3-0 in foil. Smith's Emily Willette dominated the sabre, going 3-0 in her team's 5-4 loss.
In the closing match of the day, Wellesley recorded a 20-7 victory over UMass. Paquin once again led the epee squad, going 3-0 and leading the team to a 6-3 win. In foil, both Chin and and Braaten remained perfect on the day with another pair of 3-0 records, good for a 7-2 victory in foil.
