Notes

  • The final bids to HSNI have been sent out! Wissahickon (PA) won the Pennsylvania State Championships and claimed a bid over Haverford (PA). Then, this past weekend, Franklin (OR) finished second at Oregon States behind South Eugene (OR), defeating Grant (OR) in pool play on universe to claim the second and final bid. Grant almost gave themselves a path back to the bid by coming within a goal of upsetting South Eugene in semis but came up just short.
