CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Harvard fencing looks to continue its winning ways as it enters the 2026-27 season. The Crimson 2026-27 schedule features four meets leading up to the Ivy League championship.  

This year's fencing teams, led by coach Daria Schneider, boast 13 women and 15 men, with the women's team introducing four first-years while the men's introduce two first-years. 

Last year the women's team success was shown through an 18-5 overall record and the men's team owned a 15-6 overall record.  

The men's and women's teams will kick off their season and compete at the Elite Invitational (Nov. 14-15) hosted by Penn. 

Harvard will compete in the Beanpot Championship on Nov. 18, hosted by MIT, where it hopes to secure another win following the men's and women's victories last season.  

Opening the new year, the Crimson will head to the St. John's Invitational (Jan. 16). Harvard will close out the regular season by hosting NYU Dual Meet (Jan. 30). From there, Harvard will take part in the Ivy League Championships (Feb. 6-7), hosted by Yale. 

To close out the year, the NCAA Regional Championships will be hosted by Boston College on Mar. 14. Following the Regionals, the NCAA Championships take place from Mar. 25-28 at Duke University. Harvard fencing placed fourth in the NCAA Championships last season, and Jessica Zi Jia Guo became the first two-time NCAA Women's Foil National Champion in school history.
