CHAPEL HILL - The North Carolina fencing spring season will get underway this weekend as the Tar Heels head to the Penn State Duals on Sunday, January 16th. The Penn State Duals will be the start of a fast-paced season that will see the Tar Heels compete on the strips nearly every weekend until the NCAA Championships in late March. Hopes are high surrounding the fencing program after some quality performances against top opposition during the fall season.
At the Western Invitational at the Air Force Academy in November, both the men's and women's teams finished the weekend with winning records.
