Bouting schedules for the Notre Dame Duals follow below (note that CF360 has requested schedules for other events this weekend and will pass them along if/when provided).
In addition to the host team Notre Dame (#1 men, #1 women), other top teams to watch at the ND Duals include the #7 Northwestern women, plus the men's and women's teams from Air Force and Wayne State. Northwestern's current roster includes three fencers who competed in the 2010 NCAAs (foilists Dayana Sarkisova and Devynn Pattterson; sabreist Alicia Guerrieri), while Air Force's current team includes four who were 2010 NCAA entrants: men's epeeist Daniel Trapani, men's foilist Nick Stockdale, women's epeeist Simone Barrette and women's sabreist Heather Nelson. Wayne State men's sabrest Jakub Gibczynski and women's foilist Olivia Dobbs likewise are past NCAA entrants.
The top-ranked Irish are led by numerous All-Americans (many of who may fence sparingly this weekend). Top ND fencers to watch include: 2008 women's sabre NCAA champion Sarah Borrmann; three-time women's sabre All-American Eileen Hassett; a pair of women's epeeists (Ewa Nelip and Courtney Hurley) who each have reached the NCAA semifinals twice in their careers; three-time men's sabre All-American Barron Nydam and two-time All-American Avery Zuck ('10 semifinalist); two-time women's foil All-American Hayley Reese ('09 NCAA runner-up) and 2010 NCAA entrant Darsie Malynn; 2010 men's epee All-Ameicans James Kaull and Greg Schoolcraft; and three active men's foilists who have earned past All-America honors: Enzo Castellani (two-time NCAA semifinalist), Steve Kubik and Zach Schirtz (2010 NCAA champion & '09 runner-up Gerek Meindhardt is out for the college season, following recent knee surgery).
