The first big fencing weekend of the 2010-11 season is upon us, with four tournaments set for Saturday (Jan. 22) – the NYU Invitational, Philadelphia Invitational (men's bouts, at Penn), the NEIFC Duals #2 and the Army Invitational – followed by Sunday action at the St. John's Super Cup and the second day of the Philadelphia Invitational (women's bouts, at Temple).
CollegeFencing360 has compiled bouting schedules for these tournaments (yet to receive Army Invitational; will add later if available) and they are listed below.
The tournament at NYU and St. John's will feature some of the nation's elite teams – including Notre Dame (#1 in both USFCA men's fencing poll and the women's poll), St. John's (#3/#5), Columbia (#8/#6) and Ohio State (#5/#10), all of which will be competing in both events. Harvard (#2/#3) and Penn State (#4/#2) will be competing at SJU, in a blockbuster event that will be bring together six men's teams that are ranked in the top-8 (#1 thru #5, plus #8), plus six of the top-10 women's squads (#1, #2, #3, #5, #6 and #10).
The two-day tournament in the Philadelphia are is headlined by the University of Pennsylvania's fencing teams (#7 men; #8 women), along with the #7 Northwestern women (who also will compete at NYU), the #8 Duke men and the #9 Temple women.
