The foil fencing trio of Misha Goldfeder, Arielle Pensler, and Anna Podolsky showed they are rookies no more, starting off their sophomore season with a perfect 27-0 day, and proving they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Ivy League. “The matchup was just better for us against the women,” Brand...
