2003 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship

April 4-5, 2003
UCLA


We sent only our Division II team across the country and they did not disappoint. Stuck in a 5-way tie for second place in our preliminary group at 4-3, we went 1-1 in minigames to place third and just miss the upper-tier playoffs. We finished 2nd in our 2nd round robin group giving us a very respectable 10th place finish. A well-balanced effort, achievements include victories over Carleton, Princeton and Swarthmore and a last-second loss to eventual runner-up Valencia CC.
