I think the answer is yes, the swordsman can step 1 hex and defend. It is ambiguous because defend is organized as a 'shift and...' option in the LE materials, but I believe it was clearer in the older editions that you could move up to half your MA and defend, and nothing in the current edition seems to explicitly contradict that.
