The Fairleigh Dickinson women's fencing team will travel to Poughkeepsie, NY to compete in the Vassar Invitational on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Other teams in attendance include Sacred Heart, Yeshivan, Tufts, Haverford, Steven Institute of Technology, City College of New York and the host school Vassar.

The Knights (0-2) have already competed in the Temple Collegiate Open and two duals against NYU in the 2011-12 season.

Last time out, FDU suffered a pair of defeats at the hands of NYU on Wednesday, Nov. 10, in New York, NY. Despite the losses, the Knights received some stellar performances from their veterans. In sabre, junior Christine Forsythe (Hackettstown, NJ/Hackettstown) earned a 5-1 mark, while sophomore Hanna Heldenmuth (Miami, Fla./Keystone National) compiled a 4-2 record.

FDU was also efficient in epee, headlined by junior Sophia Bischof (Bonn, Germany/Albert Einstein Gymnasium)'s 5-1 mark and senior Annie Kazarjan (Budapest, Hungary/Koecsey Ferenc Gimnazium) going 4-2.

The Vassar Invitational will be the final competition of the month for the squad. The Knights will return to action on Sunday, Dec. 4 for the Christmas Invitational in Jersey City, NJ beginning at 8 a.m.
