3/16/2022 1:06:00 PM | Fencing
DURHAM – Seven Duke fencers have received invitations to the 2022 NCAA Fencing Championship, as announced by the NCAA Men's and Women's Fencing Committee. The championship is set for March 24-27 hosted by Notre Dame at the Castellan Family Fencing Center in South Bend, Ind.
The 2022 campaign marks the 14th time head coach Alex Beguinet has qualified five or more to the national stage.
Duke will send Danny Campbell III (men's epee), Christina Ferrari (women's foil), Catherine Flanagan (women's foil) and Alex Gorman (women's saber), Finn Hossfeld (men's foil), Terence Lee (men's saber) and Anneke Zegers (women's saber).
2022 marks Gorman's fourth trip to the NCAA Championship and is a two-time All-America honoree. Ferrari, Hossfeld and Zegers return to the national stage for the second time while Flanagan and Lee qualify for the first time in their Duke careers.
Last year, Ferrari, Gorman, Hossfeld and Zegers collected All-America recognition in their respective events.
The championship will include individual events in each of the six weapons (men's epee, men's foil, men's saber, women's epee, women's foil and women's saber).
Fencers will compete in a round-robin format of five-touch bouts. After the round-robin, the top-four finishers in each weapon will fence in semifinal 15-touch bouts, with the winners fencing to determine first and second places, and the non-advancing fencers being awarded a tie for third place.
An institution's place finish in the championships will be based on points earned by each individual. A team will be awarded one point for each victory by its student-athletes for the duration of the championship.
A live feed of semifinal and final bouts will be available at 1:30 p.m., on ESPN3 or via the WatchESPN app. Semifinals and finals, along with other championships highlights, will air on ESPNU at 4:30 p.m., on March 30.
