Welcome back to TWIB!

Highlights:

Columbia football defeated Brown 21-12 to keep its Ivy League title hopes alive, improving to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in conference play. Quarterback Caleb Sanchez (CC ’28) shined in his first career start, throwing for 241 yards and three touchdowns, with wide receiver Bryson Canty (CC ’25) amassing a career-high 183 yards and two long touchdowns. The Lions’ defense played a crucial role, making key fourth-down stops and holding Brown to 94 rushing yards, while Carter McCray (CC ’28) added an interception. Columbia will close its season against Cornell next weekend, needing a win and a Yale victory over Harvard to clinch a share of its first Ivy League Championship since 1961.

The Columbia fencing team opened the 2024-25 season with a dominant 13-1 combined record at the Elite Invitational, with the women going undefeated at 7-0 and the men finishing 6-1. Both teams delivered strong individual and group performances, highlighted by impressive results in sabre, foil, and epee across multiple matches. Key victories included dominant showings against Cleveland State, LIU, and North Carolina, with close battles decided by consistent efforts in foil and epee. The Lions will host their first home meet on November 22, welcoming NJIT, Stevens, and Johns Hopkins to the Dodge Fitness Center.
