The York University Lions fencing team took part in the OUA fencing championships at the University of Toronto over the weekend and the Lions Adrien Sparling brought home some hardware with an outstanding performance.

Sparling took home the Schwende Trophy as the OUA men's sabre individual champion after a dominant 15-6 victory over Brock's Aaron Olmstead in the final. Carleton's Ghazal Mo placed third, defeating RMC's Gerson Zamor 15-9 in the bronze-medal match. As a result of his win, Sparling was also named as an OUA all-star.

Overall the Lions finished in ninth-place out of 13 teams from across the OUA. The host Blues won the team gold medal, followed by the Carleton Ravens in second place and the RMC Paladins in third.
