Princeton to Compete in NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regional Saturday
March 07, 2018 | Men's Fencing, Women's Fencing
The NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South regional will be held at Lafayette Saturday as the NCAA fencing postseason begins.
Competition will start at 9 a.m. for men's and women's foil and épée, 10 a.m. for men's saber and 11 a.m. for women's saber. Live results will be available here.
The NCAA regional counts for 60 percent of a fencer's NCAA selection résumé while regular-season performance counts for the other 40 percent. Five of the six weapons, except women's foil, have seven NCAA spots allocated from the Mid-Atlantic/South region, with women's foil getting six. Teams can qualify a maximum 12 fencers, two per weapon, for the NCAA Championships, with each of those fencers competing in 23 bouts and each of those wins adding a point to the team's standing in pursuit of the combined men's/women's team title.
The Mid-Atlantic/South region includes Drew, Duke, FDU (women), Haverford, Johns Hopkins, Lafayette, NJIT (men), North Carolina, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, Stevens and Temple (women).
Last year, Princeton qualified 11 fencers to the NCAA Championships, and the qualifiers list for this year's NCAA finals will be announced Tuesday, March 13. The Tigers have two current fencers with NCAA regional titles to their credit, with senior foil Thomas Dudey winning in 2015 and 2017 and senior foil Taylor Chin winning in 2016.
The NCAA Championships are set for March 22-25 at Penn State.
Competition will start at 9 a.m. for men's and women's foil and épée, 10 a.m. for men's saber and 11 a.m. for women's saber. Live results will be available here.
