Three rounds remain in the NCAA men's fencing competition, with most of the fencers having nine bouts slated for Friday. Nine of the men's foilists – those who will face group-A – will fence only eight bouts on Friday, due to the withdrawal of injured Duke fencer Dorian Cohen. Those bouts are vacated rather than forfeited, meaning that the best those nine fencers can do is go 8-0 on Friday (see the men's foil group-A opponents below, for the fencers who will fence only eight bouts on Friday).
CF360 will be breaking down Friday's matchups and analyzing how the round 5-7 schedules will affect the team/individual standings. We also will taking a look at the relative significance of Cohen's withdrawal, in addition to forecasting the probable Friday cutoff for the semifinals/medal round (final-4) and making similar projected cutoffs for All-America honors (top-12) in each weapon.
