EVANSTON, Ill. - With top-12 finishes at foil, senior Julia Foldi (Budapest, Hungary/Szent Istavan Gimnazium) and sophomore Jessica Florendo (Forest Hills, N.Y./The Dwight School) each earned All-America honors Sunday, while guiding the Wildcats to an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships in Houston, Texas.
The All-America nod is the fourth of Foldi's career, making her Northwestern's first four-time All-American. She finished eighth in the foil for the second-consecutive year after nabbing 10th place her sophomore year.
Florendo finished 12th, improving upon her 13th-place finish last year when she was barely nudged out of All-American status.
At sabre, senior Lauren Dunn (Sacramento, Calif./Del Campo) took 15th and Mai Vu placed 16th.
Sophomore epeeist Courtney DuBois (Chatham, N.J./Oak Knoll) took 23rd.
More information on the Wildcats' performances in Houston will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
