CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Matt Jednak, a former Tar Heel fencer and assistant coach, has been named head coach of the North Carolina men's and women's fencing teams, UNC Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham announced Thursday. Jednak is just the second coach in Tar Heel program history, following Ron Miller, who came to UNC in 1967 and has been at the UNC helm for 52 years.
"I am honored to lead a program that means so much to me," said Jednak, who was introduced as the program's new coach at a team meeting on Thursday afternoon.
