Coach Sikorski’s Thoughts
“I am extremely excited to add Alessio to the 2022 signing class. It’s been a pleasure getting to know Alessio over the past year and a half. He is one of the best juniors in Europe, specifically during the 2020 season where he had multiple wins including the Italian U18 and Italian Matchplay championship. Alessio is a fantastic player and a great young man. We are getting someone who we look to jump right into the lineup and contribute as a freshman. We are very excited to have him join the UNC family!”
