PHILADELPHIA – The No. 11 Temple fencing team will host the first day of the Philadelphia Invitational on Friday, Jan. 19 in the Temple Pavilion against No. 1 Princeton, UC San Diego, No. 2 (DII) Johns Hopkins, and North Carolina. The four-round first day will begin at 3:00 p.m. ET. Just two days later, starting at 8:30 a.m. ET, Temple will return to action at the TSE Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The Owls are set to compete on the second day against No. 3 Columbia, No. 7 Penn, and No. 12 Yale.

Fellow epeeist Grace Smith (6-7) also added six wins on the day. In sabre, Alexandra Weinberg led the parliament with a 7-4 record. Other standouts included Arwen Gormley who put in an excellent performance, going 6-1 on the day. Lauren Johnson had a strong showing scoring a 5-2 record.
