There has been discussion about colleges with strong fencing teams. Any thoughts on colleges with strong fencing clubs? |

| Michigan, USMA (Army), UMass, and Florida tend to bang around the top spots there. Northwestern for men only.

| They exist.
One way to check them out is to look at the USACFC results from the last few years. |

| I don't remember the exact numbers, but William & Mary had a very strong showing last year at club nationals. Maybe they won?
Rutgers, now that they're no longer varsity, obviously has to rank near the top right away as well.

| Ucla!
Too bad most of us missed club nationals last year as we were stuck at airports and never made it pass the west coast. I believe we would have had a strong showing.

| Smith has known, on occasion, to have one squad pull **** out of nowhere.
It's not always the same squad.
Actually, epee was the only squad that pulled something out of actual nowhere, back when sabre did well....... well, people could have actually predicted that.

| University of Texas Men's Foil can probably be safely ignored. | |

MSU's team is ok if you're and you like fencing Epee! Our Foil and Sabre squads are looking fairly nice to for these upcoming two years.
