They fenced a strong Clarkstown team in the Sectional Championship and were able to edge them out for a victory.

The Womens foil team put on one of the best showings in the schools history winning both the League and Section in dominant fashion. Senior Solange Hybel and Freshman Ryan Small both went 22-0 with Junior Charlotte Hurson incurring only 2 losses on the season with a 15-2 record. All three fencers were named to the All-Section team and look forward to the final individual tournament of the season on 2/24 at the Rockland Fencers Club.

The Nyack fencing team trains at the Rockland Fencers Club, a state of the art fencing facility with 14 Olympic sized fencing strips, 3 days per week during the season. Many of the top fencers on the Nyack team train year round at the RFC and compete in national tournaments around the country.
