University of the East fencers Willa Liana Galvez and Abi France Pangilinan delivered contrasting wins as they pocketed the gold medals in their respective categories while Lily Juico won her first epee title during the Oblation Fencing Cup over the weekend in Quezon City.
Galvez, an incoming Grade 8 for the Red Warriors who made her UAAP debut in Season 86 last March, won the gold medal in Under-12 girl’s foil division following a thrilling 10-8 win over Christine Morales of Canlas Fencing, who blew an 8-7 lead as the aggressive Galvez scored three straight points. “I’m just happy to win my last U-12 competition. My last two tournaments in U-12 ended in defeats in the finals and semifinals – both times I thought it was my last. I was given another chance, which is probably my last in U-12, so I gave it my all. A good farewell at U-12,” said Galvez.
As the top finisher in girls, Juico – daughter of Quezon City District 1 councilor and QCSep Fencing Team founder Joseph Juico – got the gold medal. Galvez, who lost to Pangilinan in the semifinals, earned the silver medal, while Ching and Mary Guidote of Mandaluyong Fencing got the bronze.
