The road to 3 in a row in fencing starts today
by lavieenor (2023-03-11 08:07:27)

The fencing team is at the NCAA Qualifiers at Northwestern today with the hope of qualifying the maximum 12 fencers (2 per weapon for both the men's and women's teams) for the NCAA tournament, which we are highly likely to do. Let's hope that Harvard isn't able to qualify 12.




With ND's 12 qualified, any update on Harvard's qualifiers? *

except Men's Sabre. Results linked, below high scores per school

Men's Epee-Harvard 1/2, Columbia 3/4/5
Women's Epee-Harvard 1/3, Columbia 2/5
Women's Foil-Harvard 2/3, Columbia 1/4
Men's Foil--Harvard 2/7, Columbia 3/4/5
Men's Sabre-Harvard's best-17, Columbia 2/8
Women's Sabre--Harvard 1/6, Columbia 2/3/5


So harvard men could possibly miss out on Saber completely

And a 2nd foil, subject to how each competitor did through the year.

Columbia's 2nd Saber at risk


Harvard top 2 sabre did not fence?

I don't think the top two men's sabre fenced. I've heard that they were suspended. Harvard with 10 fencers is good news for us. If Columbia only qualifies 11, that's more good news for 3 in a row.


Full list is out, Harvard no sabers, columbia got their 2 (link)

After a quick scan it looks like ND, Columbia, and Princeton are the only teams with a fill compliment of 12


Saw the list and noticed the same 3 w/12. Penn got 11, tOSU

joined Harvard with 10 but they have at least one in every competition. NCAA Host Duke only has 8. The only other ACC fencers are from UNC with 1 women and Boston College with 2 men fencers participating.

4 day meet starts in 8 days. Good luck Irish!


We have a good shot at 3 in a row! *

Women have qualified their max 6 (2 each for foil, epee and sabre). Men are just starting.


1 and 2 in Men's Saber *

1 and 2 in every weapon except Men's Epee which were 2nd and 4th.

Per one arficle I read, Midwest regional gets 5 Mens epee slots so j assume we are good


All 6 for the men are qualified

We have qualified all 6 for the men's team. The two men's epee-ists were the highest ranked coming into the day, so a 2nd and 4th finish, which count for about 40% of the NCAA qualifying, were enough to qualify them.

All eyes are on the Mid-Atlantic Regionals today.


I thought the regional was 60% *
