The Basics
• Location: Princeton, NJ • Jadwin Gymnasium
• The Short Story: Johns Hopkins sophomore Jenny Song finished in 11^th place to lead the women's fencing team at the 2022 NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regional Saturday.
 
How it Happened
    Song won eight of 15 bouts through three rounds of pool play to earn a spot in the final 12. She then went 1-11 to finish in 11^th place. Song was the only Division III fencer to make the final round in all three weapons. Sophomore Sanya Bawa went 2-3 in pool place to finish in 29^th place.
    In the Foil, sophomore Czarina Alfonso led a quarter of Blue Jays with a 24^th place finish, tops among DIII fencers, with a 5-5 record. Juniors Delphine Tan and Alex McDonald and senior Miya Herman each went 2-3 to finish in 27^th, 28^th and 29^th place, respectively.
    Junior Alex Szewc led Hopkins with a 2-3 record to place 25^th, best among DIII fencers in the Epee. Freshman Katelyn McShine also went 2-3 and finished in 30^th place. Sophomore Maya Zhang took 34^th place (1-4) and freshman Ameera Ebrahim finished in 36^th place (0-5).
 
What it Means
    Song's 11^th place finish is the best by a Blue Jay Sabrist at the NCAA Regional since Erin Chen placed eighth in 2017. In addition, she is just the sixth Blue Jay to place in the top-12 in the Sabre since the it's addition at the 2001 regional. Song's nine wins give her 111 for the season – two shy of Chen's school record of 113, set in 2017. With just one season under her belt, she already ranks 13^th in school history in career Sabre wins.
    Herman finishes the season with 205 career wins and now ranks fifth in program history for Foil wins. McDonald earned her 150^th career win at the regional to move into ninth in program history. Her 80 wins in the Foil this season are tied for the eighth most in school single-season history. Szewc moved into 12^th place in school history with her 115 career Epee wins.
