PHILADELPHIA- The Temple fencing team will open its season with the 28th annual Temple Fencing Collegiate Open held on Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4. The Open is known for having the largest competitive field in the United States. This year is no exception, the Open consists of a record number of competitors and schools.
There are a total of 601 entries from 36 schools, which makes this year's field larger than last year by 150 entries.
The Temple Open is the traditional "Opener" of the Owls fencing season as well as many other schools's opening competition. It provides a great opportunity for fencers to get a significant amount of competitive experience under their belt early in the season. This is an individual tournament open to all full-time undergraduate students.
Saturday features the women's competition while Sunday the men will take the floor. The event, held in Temple's McGonigle Hall, is open to the public. Competition begins each day at 9:00 a.m.
