Evanston, Ill. - The fourth-ranked Northwestern women's fencing squad (14-0) plays host to their second multi-team duals of the year this weekend at Patten Gymnasium. The Wildcats swept the competition last weekend, with a two-day record of 9-0.

This weekend some teams return for a second chance to knock off the Wildcats, while others will face NU for the first time this season. Leading the newcomers will be No. 7 Notre Dame, who hold an all-time series advantage of 25-6 over NU. However, the Wildcats upset the Irish last year, 15-12, at the NU Duals.

There will be five rounds of competition beginning Saturday, January 27 at 9 a.m.
