Minneapolis, Minn. - Junior Sophia Kovacs took home the silver medal in Division One Women's Sabre at the October North American Cup this past weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kovacs rose to the top of a field of 144 sabre fencers from around the globe.
The field contained some of the best sabre fencers in the country, including the two finalists in the 2022 Women's Sabre NCAA Championships, Harvard's Elizabeth Tartakovsky and Notre Dame's Atara Greenbaum. Kovacs outperformed both and finished as the highest-placing NCAA fencer in the field.
Kovacs started the weekend with five wins out of six bouts to win her pool.
