DURHAM, N.C. – The sixth-ranked Duke fencing team will be well-represented this weekend at the NCAA Fencing Championships as the Blue Devils are sending a program-record 10 into action to compete March 21-24 in Cleveland, Ohio.
The championship, which crowns six individual NCAA champions as well as the combined team champion, will be held at the Wolstein Center and is hosted by Cleveland State.
At the NCAA Fencing Championships, fencers will compete in a round-robin format of five-touch bouts. After the round-robin, the top-four finishers will advance to a single-elimination bracket of 15-touch bouts. A combined men’s and women’s team champion will be determined by the points earned by each individual fencer, with a student-athlete earning one point for each victory during the championships.
