• #1 PRINCETON women – return 9 of 11 participants from the 2013 NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regional and five of six 2013 NCAA entrants, all of them All-Americans: 2012 epee Olympian and 2013 NCAA runner-up Susannah Scanlan (also 5th in ’09, 7th in ’10), sabre so. Gracie Stone (3rd in ’13), jr. epeeist Kat Holmes (3rd in ’12, 5th in ’13), jr. foilist Ambika Singh (10th in ‘12, 9th in '13) and sr. foilist Eve Levin (2nd in ‘12, 12th in ’12, 10th in ’13) ... Gracie’s sister, 2013 NCAA champ Eliza Stone (8th in ’10, 2nd in ’11, 3rd in ’12) will be hard to replace, but the Tigers have ridiculous depth in all three women’s weapons ... the Princeton women won all eight of their dual meets in the fall, including victories over Penn State, Ohio State, Columbia and Penn.

• #3 PRINCETON men – return 6 of 11 participants from the 2013 NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regional and four of six 2013 NCAA entrants, two of them All-Americans: so. foilist Michael Dudey (5th) and sabre senior Robert Stone (7th at ’13 NCAAs, 22nd in ’12), who combined with his sabre sisters Eliza and Gracie Stone to help the Tigers win the 2013 NCAA team title ... the team’s other senior sabre veteran, Phil Dershwitz, reached the NCAA semfiinals in 2012 (18th in ’11, 14th in ’13) ... the Tigers must replace their elite epee due of 2013 seniors Jonathan Yergler (2012 NCAA champ, runner-up in ’11 & ’13, 9th in ’10) and Ed Kelley (’13 semifinalist, 8th in ’12) ... top options to fill that void include jr. Luke Politi (11th at ’13 Regional) and highly-rated freshman Alex House (Upton, Mass.) ... the Princeton men went 7-2 during their fall dual meets, losing 8-19 to Columbia and 7-20 vs. Penn State (with top wins over Ohio State and Penn).
