EVANSTON – The No. 19 Temple fencing team returns to action this weekend, traveling to Evanston, Illinois, for the Schiller Duals hosted by Northwestern University inside Ryan Fieldhouse. The three-day competition marks the Owls' return to team play after weather conditions forced the cancellation of last weekend's Penn State Invitational.
Temple opens competition Saturday at 8:15 a.m., beginning with matchups against host Northwestern, UIW, Notre Dame, LU, and AFA, before closing the day versus UC San Diego.
Action continues Sunday morning at 8 a.m., as the Owls take on Wayne State, Denison, and Cleveland State before wrapping up the event against Ohio State, Stanford, and Detroit Mercy.
