Notre Dame suddenly has an opening to win the MFC combined men's/women's fencing title for the first time since 2002, thanks to Northwestern defeating Ohio State in the women's epee semifinal. The Irish also have advanced to the epee final and potentially could face OSU in the women's foil final – if ND wins both, it appears that they will have rallied to win the combined title (after the Buckeyes had won three of the first four weapons contested today).
More details coming to the blog soon.
