The Penn Quakers fencing team is the intercollegiate fencing team for the University of Pennsylvania, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The team competes in the Ivy League, within the NCAA Division I.
The university first fielded a team in 1925. The team is coached by Andy Ma, former coach of several members of the Chinese National Fencing Team.[3][4]
Penn has historically fielded a strong fencing team, capturing the national title three times since the program's inception in 1925. The program has produced 11 Olympians, most recently Cliff Bayer and Tamir Bloom in 2000.[5]
