EVANSTON, Ill. – In its first competition as a program at the new Patten Gymnasium, Northwestern fencing went undefeated in Sunday's tri-dual. The Wildcats took down Wayne State and Lawrence twice each to go 4-0 on the day.
 
The 'Cats dropped only six bouts as an entire squad on the day, highlighted by an impressive 28-2 showing from the foil group. 

"It was really exciting to get to host our first home competition and our first ever competition in the new Patten gymnasium!" head coach Zach Moss said. "The event was great and it was awesome to be able to showcase our amazing facility."

"Our team did a great job carrying forward the momentum that we built last weekend," Moss continued. "I was really happy with the energy and competition mindset that our team brought to our matches. I'm excited to see this team continue to grow together into next weekend's competition and as the season progresses".

First-year Sophie Brill led the way for the 'Cats with an 8-0 record for the epee squad to improve her overall record to 16-5 on the year. 
 
Juniors Alyssa Chen (foil) and Julia Falinska (epee) both won all six of their matches. 
 
The 'Cats will be back in action next Sunday, Feb. 21, as they welcome Notre Dame and Lawrence to Evanston for another tri-dual.
