Northwestern Continues Winning Ways at Elite Invitational
11/19/2018 9:57:00 AM | Women's Fencing
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Northwestern fencing team wrapped up another impressive outing this weekend, defeating eight of nine opponents at the Elite Invitational hosted by Ohio State.
Emine Yücel paced the 'Cats with 12 wins in her first duals meet of the season. Pauline Hamilton, who posted top-two finishes in both of NU's two individual events to start the year, added eight wins of her own.
"The team had a fantastic showing this weekend," said head coach Zach Moss. "This was a whole team effort and shows our team's potential. I'm excited to see us build off this weekend when we return to competition in January."
In total, eleven Wildcats earned their first collegiate wins of the campaign, including Sarah Filby, Yvonne Chart, Maddy Curzon, and Alexis Browne. First-year Julia Falinska earned her first official collegiate wins, finishing with a 11-6 record overall. Five Wildcats finished the event undefeated, including a 3-0 record from first-year Jerrica Liao.
Northwestern opened the Elite Invitational by matching up with host Ohio State. Sweeps from Hamilton and Yücel, coupled with 2-1 efforts from Chart and Maggie Snider, guided the 'Cats to a 15-12 victory.
Against North Carolina, sweeps from Chart and Alyssa Chen paced an 8-1 outing from the foil group to lead NU to a narrow 14-13 win.
The #B1GCats then easily defeated Cleveland State, 26-1, before beating Cornell, 19-8, in the squads' first of two meetings.
Northwestern opened day two with a narrow 15-12 win over Princeton, which included 2-0 sweeps from Chart and Yücel.
Against Penn, another strong outing from the foil group was the difference-maker in the 14-13 victory.
The Wildcats went on to defeat Penn State, 15-12, and Cornell, 18-9, in the second matchup between the schools.
Northwestern concluded the event with a 16-11 defeat to Notre Dame, NU's first duals loss of the season.
Chicago's Big Ten Team is off for the remainder of 2018. The season resumes with the USA Fencing NAC individual event on January 4th through 7th. Northwestern's next duals meet will be the Western Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo. on January 13th.
