Fencing, the new sport on campus, got off to a good start. The enthusiastic squad is led by a fine coaching staff of Dr. William O'Brien and George Nonomura. With their excellent coaching the inexperienced U.S.F. team has quickly developed into a competitive force.
The four-man team of senior captain Leonel Bello, juniors Tim Philpott and Sergio Bello, and" sophomore Greg Bragg has performed impressively against many of California's best known and seasoned teams. All four team members compete in all three fencing weapons: foil, epée and sabre. The team performed very well throughout the season beating both Cal State Fullerton and Cal Tech. The future for this hard-working team holds nothing but promise (Ignatian).
