There is no place like home, but for UNC fencing, home was an ancient memory. The Tar Heels had not competed in Chapel Hill in five years. On Sunday, Feb. 12, that all changed.
Only one Tar Heel found the podium, Sophia Kovacs. Kovacs, a transfer, was a person of interest for head coach Matt Jednak coming into the season. Through her two tournaments for UNC, all she has done is place.
The North Carolina fencing team looks forward to the 2022-2023 season. The women’s team will be back in action on Saturday, Oct. 29 in Philadelphia at the Temple Open. The men will compete on Sunday, Oct. 30 at the same event.
The Tar Heels’ strong play across the first two days of the tournament granted them a spot in Wednesday’s match play. With an overall finish of first in stroke play, the Tar Heels were pinned up against the hometown Florida State Seminoles Wednesday.
