In what will be the Tigers' final competition of 2024, the Princeton fencing teams will head to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., for a day of duals on Sunday known as the Sacred Heart Duals, though held this year at Vassar College.
On the docket for the Tiger fencing teams, each ranked No. 4 in the nation in the U.S. Fencing Coaches Association's preseason poll, are LIU, Vassar, NJIT, NYU and Sacred Heart. NYU is ranked No. 11 on the men's side in Division I while NJIT's men are ranked No. 15. NYU and Vassar are both ranked in the top 10 in Division III on the men's side, NYU at No. 1 and Vassar at No. 7, while NYU's women are ranked No. 2 in Division III.
