SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Boston College senior fencer Olivia Adragna was named the women's ACC Championship Most Valuable Fencer following this past weekend's championship events held at the University of Notre Dame. The award was voted on by the league's four coaches.Â
The Malverne, N.Y. native earned a silver medal in the epee event, falling to Notre Dame's Catherine Lee 11-15 in the title event on Sunday. With the second place finish, she automatically earns All-ACC honors, as the top two finishers in each weapon receive the accolades.Â
Adragna was the only Eagle to place in the top-three of any event this week, as Boston College was held winless as a team in its three events. The maroon and gold fell to Notre Dame in the opening round, 6-21, to Duke in the second round, 7-20, and to North Carolina in the third round, 10-17.
