2015

Born and raised in Turku, Finland, Tina Loven's athletic career in Queens was highlighted by a landmark performance at the 1995 NCAA Fencing Championships, as she claimed gold in the epee as a junior to become the first woman fencer in St. John's history to win a national title. Loven won 21 matches at the NCAA Championships on her way to the '95 women's epee title in the first ever year of NCAA competition in the discipline, earning All-America status while helping St. John's to a second-place finish in the team competition, at the time tying the 1942 team for the program's highest-ever finish at the national championships.
