PRINCETON, N.J. - Competing on back-to-back weekends for the first time this season, the Princeton men's and women's fencing teams open the first of two Ivy Sundays that will determine the conference championship. This weekend, both teams travel to Cornell for the first half of the round-robin schedule.
Both teams face Brown at noon and Penn at 2 p.m. with the women's team dueling with the host Big Red at 10 a.m. The rest of the Ivy schedule will be completed the following Sunday at Columbia. The men's team stands at 5-1 on the year in dual meets with wins over NYU, Rutgers, North Carolina and a loss to Penn State, all in December, plus victories against Vassar and Sacred Heart last weekend. The women's team is 4-1 against the same slate except Vassar, which was a men's event only.
Both Princeton teams are looking for their first Ivy titles since 2001. Last season, the men's team finished 2-2 while the women's team finished 2-3.
