Both the men's and women's teams defeated Yale 15-12 and fell to Penn 20-7. Three Tigers earned All-Ivy honors as junior epeeist Jasjit Bhinder claimed first-team honors for the second straight year, going 13-5 against Ivy opponents. Sophomore Chandler Clay was named a second-team epeeist, compiling a 12-6 record in dual meet bouts and freshman epeeist Graham Wicas also earned second-team honors, finishing 8-4 in his Ivy bouts.

Against Yale, sophomore Thomas Abend and freshman John Stogin each went 3-0 to help win the sabre weapon, 8-1. The epeeists, led by Wicas at 3-0, went 5-4 to clinch the match on the men's side. Princeton's women picked up five wins in the epee, six with the foil and four in sabre with every Princeton fencer either going 2-1 or 1-2 against the Bulldogs.
The Quakers took all six weapons between the men's and women's teams in their dual-meet bout with the Orange and Black.
