Staten Island, NY – The Wagner College women's fencing team's 2022 spring schedule is set, head coach Gabrielle Chau has announced, highlighted by the Brian Palestis Memorial Invitational at the Spiro Sports Center on February 27.
"I'm excited to return to competition this spring," said Chau. "We have some big events planned, as well as hosting our home meet. After that, there's the big push to regionals and potentially competition at NCAA's."
Wagner opens the spring season on Saturday, January 22 and January 23 at the UPenn Invitational in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Green & White continues competition at the Notre Dame DeCicco Duals on January 29 in South Bend, Indiana.
