In round two for the saber squad, Witek racked up a pair of points against the Blue Lions while Tiffany Kellstrom and Emma Marchetta-Turner accounted for the remaining two in the 5-4 defeat.

Witek switched to the epee in the final round where she secured a 2-1 victory record. Grace Hand followed suit and matched Witek's record in the 5-4 loss against New York University.
