Northwestern coming off undefeated weekend at DiCicco Duals

EVANSTON, Ill. (February 1, 2023) – After cruising to a 6-0 finish at the DiCicco Duals this past weekend, No. 5 Northwestern fencing is back home this weekend to host the Northwestern Duals.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Northwestern got its stay in South Bend, Ind. off to a fast start this past Saturday, sweeping all three weapons en route to a 27-0 blanking of Detroit Mercy.  Matching up against Denison, the epee squad enjoyed another perfect outing, while the sabre squad went 8-1 in a 23-4 win.
 
The 'Cats sabre group was dominant across the next three tilts, posting 9-0 marks in victories over Cleveland State, 22-5, Florida, 25-2, and Wayne State, 23-4.  Northwestern's foil crew also finished with an unblemished record in its win over the Gators.  In their final matchup of the day, the Wildcats cruised to a 24-3 rout of Lawrence, with the foil group again putting together a 9-0 finish.
