Ivies tend to be more competitive in headcount sports as their financial aid package for middle and lower income families are often much more generous than a partial athletic scholarship, with no sports condition attached. For example, Ivies are routinely top ranked teams (and even national champs) in lacrosse and ice hockey.

Ivies are also strong in fencing. ALL of the fencing recruits are the top ranked.
