Fencing team wins
at Northwestern
The UDM men's and women's fencing team competed in the Northwestern University Duals in Evanston, Ill, over the weekend, with the women leaving with a pair of victories, while the men only managed to come away with one.
The women dropped their first three matches before they defeated Cleveland State 12-3 on Saturday.
They followed it up with another victory on Sunday over Lawrence by a score of 13-8.
On Sunday, the men followed the women's victory over Cleveland State with one of their own, defeating them 16-9.
Necajevs, Latosinsky
knock off State pair
Senior Pjotrs Necajevs and freshman Alex Latosinsky got the UDM men's tennis team off to a fast start against Michigan State on Saturday before the Titans eventually fell 6-1.
The Titans' top doubles team defeated MSU's doubles team 6-1, 6-1. Unfortunately, it was the only victory the team would have in the competition.
Titan runners take
individual honors
The Titan women finished with four second-place finishes and 11 in the top five in the Grand Valley State Open on Friday night.
Susan Kalkstein was a runner-up in both the long jump and triple jump, while Alexandria Vintevoghel and Sequoyia Calhoun finished second in the 3000m run and 200m dash respectively.
Jennifer DeFauw ran the fifth-fastest time in school history in the 800m with a time of 2:19.90, and the team of DeFauw, Calhoun, Tressanique Hampton and Megan Miller ran the 4x400m relay in the third-best time in school history, finishing in 3:58:58.
