Galfalvy and Mancini Finish First Day of NCAA Women's Fencing Championships

University Park, Pa. -- The Wayne State University women's fencing squad had two student-athletes compete in the first day of the NCAA Women's Fencing Championships on Saturday.

Galfalvy won six of her 15 bouts, totaling a 6-9 ledger while having a -8 touch differential (56-64). The sophomore collected wins over Anya Mehrotra of Yale (5-4), Maria Alvim of Sacred Heart (5-2), Alice Lan of the University of California San Diego (5-3), Gloria Klughardt of Ohio State (5-4), and the United States Air Force Academy's Christina Watrall (5-4) and Elizabeth Kim (5-2).
