DCFC fencers are getting great results all over the world and close to home.
At the Budapest Men’s Saber World Cup on November 1, Team USA took silver for a second straight medal on the circuit after a 45-44 heartbreaker against Russia in the finals. Congratulations to DCFC member Peter Souders, along with Jeff Spear, Daryl Homer, Eli Dershwitz and Coach Zoran Tulum.
