The seven-team Eastern Women's Fencing Conference (EWFC) recently held its team and individual championship events, with Johns Hopkins squeaking out the team title while two JHU fencers (foilist Marion Trumbull and epeeist Lauren Chinn) won EWFC individual titles (as did Hunter sabreist Stella Shilfin). More team weapon scores will be added to these results (as available) and an EWFC overview release (with more individual and bout details) also will be posted on the CF360, time permitting.
