Columbus, OH-The Cleveland State fencing teams competed Sunday at the OSU Elite Invitational. Both teams competed against stiff competition, with multiple teams ranked among the best in the country in the ten-team field.

The Vikings are off until January, when the team returns to competition at the DiCicco Duals scheduled for January 27th at the University of Notre Dame.
