01/23/08

New York University sophomore Sam Roukas was named University Athletic Association Men's Fencing Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.

Roukas finished in 11th place in the Junior (19 and Under) Men's Sabre competition at the United States Fencing Association's North American Cup, a national circuit event, in Atlanta, Georgia, over the weekend.

Roukas received a bye in the first round and then lost his first match. He rebounded, however, and won his next four bouts, reaching the round of 16, before losing his final match.
