NIRSA Staff.

This year the rain stayed away and there were sunny skies in Tuscaloosa, but the teams were challenged by windy and very cold conditions. Once again, the University of Alabama did a stellar job of hosting the event and huge thanks go to George Brown, CRSS, Jill Beville, and the staff from University Recreation.

The University of Michigan women won their third National Championship in overtime over Colorado State University. The University of Colorado men won their first National Championship, in overtime over Vanderbilt University.

In the Men's Open division, the Ducks of the University of Oregon beat the Bears from the University of California (Berkeley) for their first title. For the women, the University of Virginia won their second Open title with a win over rival Virginia Tech. Sportsmanship Awards went to the University of Kansas (women) and the University of San Diego. (Men)
