PHILADELPHIA – The No. 8 Temple Fencing team will host six schools on Sunday, February 21, for the 2025 Temple Invitational.

The seven seniors are, foilists Constanca Dimas and Anna Novoseltseva; epeeists Caira Blake and Cindy Long; and sabreists Arwen Gormley, Eva Ventura, and Alexandra Weinberg. The Senior Day recognition ceremony will take place at 1:30 p.m inside McGonigle Hall.
The Cherry and White will compete in five bouts, starting with No. 15 Penn State at 8:30 a.m. Temple will also face Johns Hopkins, No. 4 Princeton, No. 10 Penn, and St. John's.
With the exception of St. John's, the Owls have already faced the other four teams this season. Temple is 2-2 in those matchups, with victories over Johns Hopkins and Penn State.
