The men finished fifth in the NCAA Championships, best among Ivy schools, and the combined men’s and women’s squads won IFA six-weapon championship.

On the women’s side, Emma Baratta ’06 (saber) earned All-America First Team honors in saber and Cassidy Luitjen ’07 (foil) received honorable mention.
