Ottawa, ON – The Mustangs fencing team took home two bronze medals from the 2025 Carleton Invitational this weekend.
With over 50 Mustangs competing and teams from all over Ontario and Quebec, it was a tough but rewarding lead-up to the OUA championships next month.
The women's sabre team of Jasnoor Kalsi, Elizabeth Jeon, Tara Shahzadeh, and Virginia Johnson Steeves overcame injury to secure a bronze medal for the Mustangs. After Johnson-Steeves was forced to withdraw due to injury in the preliminary round, epee-fencer Shahzadeh stepped in to finish the tournament. After several close matches, the Mustangs defeated MacMaster 45-42 in the bronze medal match.
In an exciting 43-39 bronze medal match, the Mustangs men's epee team took home third place. The team of Max Dominy, Jonathan Chai, Alvin Yeung, and Aaniss Dib initially started the day by defeating their fellow Mustangs, before being defeated in the semifinals 44-43 by team EMR. Though the Mustangs started off the bronze medal match trailing team Omega Squad in points, each team member worked to make up the gap to finish the day with the bronze.
Next up for the Mustangs is the Women's OUA championships, held in Kingston February 8 & 9.
