Unbeaten Season Earns Dudas Ivy Coach of the Year Honors

March 02, 2022 | Men's Fencing, Women's Fencing

For the fourth time in the seven seasons the award has been given, Princeton coach Zoltan Dudas has earned the Ivy League women's Coach of the Year honor.

Dudas's previous honors came in 2015, 2016 and 2017, the first three years of the award. Princeton won the Ivy League title since the 2017 season, going 6-0 at the Ivy League round-robin last month. That run was a part of a 30-0 dual-match season, the second undefeated season in program history and first since a 31-0 season in 2013-14. The Ivy title was the program's 11th all-time and eighth in the last 12 competitive seasons.

As part of the announcement, the Ivy League included the All-Ivy League honorees that were previously announced at the round-robin event, as well as the Academic All-Ivy honorees. Each program can nominate one fencer each for men and women for Academic All-Ivy honors.
