About the Club:

In 1984, fencing became a varsity sport at Vassar. From 1987 to 1989, Vassar won the foil title at the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Fencing Association Championship while finishing third overall at the 1987 and 1989 MACFA championships.

For the 1998-99 season, the Brewers began competing in the prestigious Intercollegiate Fencing Association, which includes Ivy League schools as well as current national champion St. John's.

Recent standouts have qualified for NCAA regional and national championships.
