Ranger women had three Top 3 finishes at the EWFC Individual Championships held at Stevens Tech on Sunday.

Dina Attyeh took seventh in the weapon with a 12-6 record and Virginia Cooper took eighth at 10-8.
Rapp took the silver in sabre with a strong 15-2 record and a +54 indicator. Carlin MacNichol was close behind, taking fourth with a 14-3 record at +42.
The epee squad had the best overall team performance as all three placed in the top seven led by Allison Walters in third place. Walters tied for the best record at 14-3, but lost out on the tiebreaker to take the bronze. Naomi Bocarsly, the 2006 EWFC Epee Champ, took fourth place at 12-5 and Heidi Einholz placed seventh at 10-7.
