Evanston, IL - Northwestern Fencing will be represented by three Wildcats at the NCAA Fencing Championships on March 24-27 at the Castellan Family Fencing Center in the Joyce Athletic Convocation Center in South Bend, Indiana.
Sarah Filby (Foil), Sky Miller (Sabre) and Hanna Lipthay (Epee) will head to South Bend, as the Wildcats look to build on last season's program-best third-place team finish at the NCAA Championships.
Filby, a graduate student, will make her second appearance on the NCAA stage. She previously qualified for the NCAAs in 2018 and 2020, before the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lipthay will conclude an incredible first season in Evanston with an NCAA bid, as the Hungary native looks to put an exclamation point on a season where she made an instant impact at Northwestern.
Miller, who finished second as an individual sabrist at last season's NCAA Championship, has been one of the nation's best in her weapon all season. In her last appearance in South Bend, Miller went 3-0 as the Wildcats took down No. 1 Notre Dame.
Northwestern will begin their NCAA Championship with round-robin bouts on Thursday March 24, with semifinals and final bouts on Friday March 25.
A live feed of semifinal and final bouts will be available at 12:30 p.m. CT on ESPN3 or the WatchESPN app. Semifinals and finals will air on ESPNU at 3:30 p.m. CT on March 30.
