PHILADELPHIA - The North Carolina men's and women's fencing teams competed at the Temple Open last weekend in individual competition.

The women's competition was held on Saturday and was highlighted by sophomore transfer Sophia Kovacs taking home bronze in women's sabre. This third-place finish adds to Kovacs' impressive start to individual competition, building off her silver medal at the North American Cup a few weeks ago.

The second-highest finisher from the women's team was freshman Nicole Milewski, who took home tenth in epee in her collegiate debut.

The men's competition on Sunday saw the Tar Heels have consistent success across the board.
