Samantha Catantan powered University of the East girls’ foil team to a masterful 45-29 victory over University of Santo Tomas to virtually secure the school’s ninth title with its fourth gold in the UAAP Season 82 High School Fencing tournament, Thursday at the Paco Arena. 

The Junior Warriors are simply the gold standard in high school play.

Meanwhile, UE bested Far Eastern University-Diliman, 45-34, in the team epee final for its fourth gold. It has virtually secured its 10th straight boys’ championship.
