The ninth-ranked women’s fencing team will head to Penn State tomorrow for the Penn State Invitational which is sure to provide a great challenge for the team. Three of the five teams competing in the event (Penn State, Duke, Columbia) are ranked in the top ten in the nation; North Carolina, received votes in the most recent polls to crack the Top 10.

The Owls can really make a statement at Penn State; a good performance would surely lead to a nice climb in the national rankings with a good showing. Temple has not competed since Dec. 1 when they went 4-0 at the Vassar Invitation against Vassar, Sacred Heart, New York University and Pennsylvania.
