WALTHAM, Mass. (February 3, 2018) – Senior Abby Kaye is now the Stevens Institute of Technology women's fencing program's all-time wins leader, topping former teammate Caroleen Chen's career mark of 256 victories by earning 12 wins on Saturday for the Ducks. Kaye's career total now stands at 264 wins and still counting.
 
Stevens went 4-1 as a team on Saturday, including wins over Brown University (14-13), Brandeis University (17-10), MIT (17-10) and NJIT (20-7). The win over Brandeis sets up a showdown next weekend for the top spot in DIII fencing with Johns Hopkins University. The Ducks' only setback came against Boston College in a 17-10 final that was closer than the score suggests.
 
"It's an incredible achievement for Abby," said head coach Linda Vollkommer-Lynch. "When you think about the 44-year history of the program, to have the most wins of all the great fencers we have had here is truly something special."
 
In addition to Kaye's 12-2 record at foil, Allison Urban-Spillane earned six wins for Stevens.
 
At sabre, Michelle Drobish, Julia Yang and Karen Kong earned 11, 10 and nine wins, respectively on the day.
 
Julia McEldoon led the epeeists with 10 wins, and Erin Hatcher and Amanda Choy earned seven victories each.
 
Up Next
The Ducks will head to the Eastern Women's Fencing Conference Championships in two weeks held at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
