Beguinet Announces 2020 Slate
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke fencing head coach Alex Beguinet announced the 2020 competition schedule Monday. The spring slate features four regular season meets, including the annual home meet, and Duke will also serve as the host side for the NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regionals.
Both the men and women will kick off the 2020 season Jan. 12 at the Penn State Duals before heading back to the state of Pennsylvania for the Philadelphia Invitational on Jan. 18, hosted by UPenn. At last year's Penn State Duals, the Duke women posted a 4-2 showing while both squads were undefeated at the Philadelphia Invitational.
The Blue Devils will start the month of February at the Northwestern Duals Feb. 1, before returning to Durham to compete in front of their home crowd Feb. 8-9.
At last year's Northwestern Duals the 10th-ranked Duke men went 9-1 and defeated top-ranked Notre Dame while the eighth-ranked women topped three ranked foes. The sixth-ranked Duke men went 4-1 overall on their home strips at the Duke Meet while the women were 3-2.
Duke will then turn its attention to the postseason beginning with the ACC Championships Feb. 22-23, hosted by Notre Dame.
Next on the slate for Duke's qualifiers will be the NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regional March 7 in Durham. At last year's regional, 11 Blue Devils placed in the top 10 of their respective events, highlighted by Eoin Gronningsater's first-place performance.
The 2020 campaign will conclude at the NCAA Championships March 19-22, hosted by Detroit Mercy. Nine of Duke's 10 2019 national qualifiers return this season, including 2019 All-America honorees Gronningsater and Ping Ping Kitsiriboon.
