LONDON - Concluding the fall semester in London, the Brock Badgers men's and women's fencing teams competed at the Western Invitational this past weekend.

Picking up the top result of the competition for the Badgers, second-year sabre athlete Isamaris Escano placed third overall in the women's sabre event. The Child Health major earned a critical 15-10 victory over Western's Evenlyn Zheng, before falling to the eventual silver medalist from Western Louise Lewicki.
