Agree with Jenni We need to know more.
Jenni Lukac (X) Jun 27, 2011:
More information about the circumstances are needed to translate "ante": Did he witness this victory personally? Did he find out about it second-hand? What kind of victory are we talking about?

Depending on the context, 'when faced with' would be appropriate if Terencio is struggling to accept Maria's victory

'on seeing' would be more generic
