2018 Santa Monica Opening Round Championships
Santa Monica, California • March 2018
UW Team 1214 competed in the first week of the Opening Round Championship Series (ORCS), which are held throughout March and only feature teams that advanced out of the February Regional tournaments. Unfortunately for the Huskies, they battled but could not secure one of the six elusive bids to the National Championship Tournament.
The weekend pitted UW against a series of west coast teams. Up first, the Huskies dropped two ballots to Pomona College by slim three point margins. From there, they righted the ship by taking both ballots comfortably against in-state rival Gonzaga University. Round 3 was a nail bitter against UC Riverside, which ended in a split decision. Finally, UW took a ballot and a half off of Stanford, which meant that Team 1214 closed out the weekend at 4.5 wins. The sixth place record was 5 wins, and so the mockers came up just short.
They didn't leave the closing ceremony empty handed, however. Senior Alexandra Bartos-O'Neill double awarded as an attorney on both sides of the case. And, on the defense, she was joined by Sophomore Nina Downey.
From here, UWMT will celebrate their graduating seniors and keep an eye on coming back next year better than ever!
