IN SHORT
The boys fencing team faced previously undefeated Hunterdon Central and came away winners. Notable winners were Mitchell Henthorn on sabre (3-0), and Matthew Yin (2-0) and captain Connor Pelos (2-0), both on epee. The Ridge girls were a depleted squad due to fencers competing in other meets. Winners for the girls team on epee were Rita Bianchi, Amanda Choy and Anita Harrington, all 2-1.
