Fencers from the University of the East won five of six titles at stake in the cadet level events of the National Cadet and Junior Fencing rankings meet at the Philsports Hall in Pasig.

Sixteen-year-old Adrienne Lising, who recently won a team medal 1st Malaysian Fencing Federation Minime International Tournament last December, led the way with her close 15-14 win over Meagan Co Say of Team Republic Fencing in the women’s sabre.

Her teammate Nash Felipe ruled the men’s sabre finals, with a 15-9 triumph over fellow UE fencer Christian Concepcion.

Irish Manaois, Von Ebert Gale, and Aubrey Fernandez claimed the three other golds at stake for UE.

Manaois prevailed over La Salle Zobel’s Martina Baccay, 15-13, in the women’s epee.

Canlas Fencing student Marcus Antonio kept UE from pulling off a sweep with his 15-7 win over James Lim.

The tournament serves as the fencers’ preparations for the coming University Athletic Association of the Philippines fencing meet next week.
