PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Northwestern continued its hot start to 2017 by notching four more wins at the Philadelphia Duals over the weekend. The Wildcats are 20-5 now and ranked No. 8 in the country.
Chicago's Big Ten Team ran its winning streak to 18 before losing its only dual of the day to No. 6 Penn in a narrow 15-12 decision. The 'Cats took down Temple, Sacred Heart, Johns Hopkins and Cornell.
Northwestern started the day with a 16-11 win over Temple, led by the foil squad, which went 6-3. A 21-6 domination of Sacred Heart followed with all three weapons groups going 7-2. The epee was a bright spot for the 'Cats against Penn, posting a 5-4 record, while foil returned to form in a 22-5 win over Johns Hopkins, going 9-0. The 'Cats used a strong sabre push against Cornell for a 16-11 victory.
All told, each of the three weapons groups for Northwestern went a combined 29-16 in the five duals.
Sophomore sabre Maddy Curzon led the way for the Wildcats with an 8-1 mark. She went 3-0 individually against the sixth-ranked Quakers. Katie Van Riper was close behind with a 9-3 record, including a 3-0 performance against Sacred Heart. Stephanie Chan and Kaila Budofsky each went 7-2 at foil.
