The fencing team has competed since the early 1930s and is a member of both the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Fencing Association (MACFA) and the National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association (NIWFA).

The men's team was the conference champion in 1983, and again in 2004, under the leadership of Coach David Littell, a 1988 Olympian and 3-time All American.
