EVANSTON-- Northwestern will host its final home competition of the year on Saturday when it welcomes eight teams from Big Ten schools plus the University of Chicago and Lawrence University to Patten Gymnasium beginning at 8 a.m.

The Big Ten Conference does not sponsor fencing, however the schools are all members of the Midwest Fencing Conference (MFC). The MFC is comprised of varsity and club fencing teams from around the region.

Two teams which were originally scheduled to compete, Michigan and Michigan State, have withdrawn from the competition. The Wolverines and Spartans were unable to make it to Evanston because of travel problems related to snow.
