Men ' s fencing uses championship as springboard for success bu Jim Korczak by Jit The 1995 fencing season started as a classical case of deja uu, much to the delight of coach Mike DeCicco. The defending National Champions started off where they left off last year. With the exception of our two loses that the men ' s team suffered during the year. . . this team appears to be a repeat of the 1994 team, said DeCicco. The foil, epee, and sabre squads each fin- ished 12-0. DeCicco credited the captains for the team ' s continued success. Epee captain Rakesh Patel posted 19 wins, including 10 in the first ships. Sabre captain Chris Hajnik also made major contributions throughout the year. The success of the team did not come from the upperclassmen alone. Sophomore Jer- emy Siek contributed 21 day of the Midwest Team wins at the Champion- Championships held in the Joyce Athletic center fieldhouse. Foil captain Stan Brunner was just as successful, finishing 24- 1 during the Champion- MEN ' S FENCING FILE ships, while freshman Brian Stone led the epee- ists with a 13-1 record for the meet. The team finished third at the Hosted National Tournament. An Irish fencer moves in to strike his opponent at the Midwest Championships.

Irish continue to work toward playing at the next level by Steile Ponisciak The Irish men ' s golf team enjoyed a success- ful season in 1994. Led by coach George Tho- mas, the team showed signs of developing talent for the future while play- ing well in the present. In addition to the University Champion- ship, the team competed three times in the fall: at Air Force, in the Falcon Cross Creek Invitational; at Marquette; and at the Northern Intercollegiate Championship in East Lansing. The Irish faced their toughest competi- tion at the latter event, but they still had their best finish there by com- ing in tenth out of 18 teams. The Irish were led in the fall season by fresh- man Brian Weeks, who had the best average on the team. Weeks turned in a sixth-place finish at the Morthern Intercolle- giate Championship with a two-round total of 147. Junior walk-on Bill Moore, who led the Irish with a three-round score of 227 at Marquette, had the second-best average on the team. Sophomore Brian Donohoe, the top Irish performer at the Falcon Cross Creek Invitational with a three- round score of 226, recorded the third-best average on the season. Senior Chris O ' Connell provided strong leader- ship which Coach Tho- mas hoped would carry over into the spring season. The fall season is important primarily to decide which five players will comprise the com- peting team for the spring season. If the individual performances of the fall season are any indication of the team ' s potential, the Irish could rise to the next level very soon.
