    Seeded second after their gold medal win at the World Championships earlier in the month, the team of Seth Kelsey (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Soren Thompson (New York City, N.Y.), Cody Mattern (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Jimmy Moody (Colorado Springs, Colo.) earned a bye into the table of 16 where Team USA defeated Israel, 14-13.

    In the quarter-final match against Switzerland, Team USA led by four (33-29) going into the final bout, but Swiss anchor Max Heinzer scored 13 touches to Kelsey’s six to win the bout, 42-39.

    Team USA rebounded to win the next bout in the 5th – 8th place table over Norway, 45-32.

    In the match for fifth place, Team USA met France – the team that had won six straight World titles before the Americans defeated them in the gold medal bout of the World Team Championships in Kiev two weeks ago.

    Motivated by their finals loss at the Worlds and a 45-44 loss to China in the quarters, France won eight of the nine bouts to win the match, 45-27.

    Top eight and U.S. results are as follows:

    Heidenheim Epee Team World Cup
    1. Switzerland
    2. Italy
    3. China
    4. Russia
    5. France
    6. USA
    7. Ukraine
    8. Norway

    Tim Morehouse (New York City, N.Y.), Williams’s teammate in both London and Beijing, won three of his five pool bouts on Friday and defeated Jason Dourakos (GRE), 15-5, in his first direct elimination bout to advance to the table of 64 on Saturday. Seeded 53rd, Morehouse drew 2010 Senior World medalist Veniamin Reshetnikov (RUS) and lost the bout, 15-12, and placed 54th.

    Jeff Spear (Wyantskill, N.Y.), Team USA’s replacement athlete in London, also went 3-2 in the pools. Spear defeated Michal Kosman (POL), 15-7, in the preliminary table of 64 on Friday.
