...good fencer. You can make up for any weak area by being strong in another.” “Fencing is a great combination of being physically demanding and mentally demanding—it’s often likened to physical chess,” Benji Ungar, co-captain for the men’s fencing team added. This would make fencing seem like the ideal Harvard sport. Weakness in athleticism can be atoned for with a brilliant strategy, a sort of physical chess. But, out of the 41 Division I sports that Harvard offers, fencing seems...
...what was supposed to be a rebuilding year, the Harvard fencing team showed that even in off years it will be a force to be reckoned with, finishing sixth nationally for the second consecutive season. Lacking the star power of years past with foilist Emily Cross and epeeist Benji Ungar off training for this summer’s Olympics, both the women and men far exceeded expectations.

Last year, it was such individual results of junior foil Emily Cross and junior epee Benji Ungar that contributed to the run that culminated in the unexpected victory. This year, with Ungar, missing regionals to compete in a World Cup event, expect impressive results from women’s epee fencers McGlade and Larsson who finished first and second at regionals...
