The Competitors
Along with San Diego State and the University of Colorado other top teams competing include the University of Nevada-Reno and Northern Arizona. In all 14 teams will compete in the two-day event.

Getting Results
Next weeks results will be available on the website, www.goaztecs.com. The first round's results will be available early evening on Monday and the second round's results will be posted by Tuesday afternoon.

Quoting Coach Diana Falar
Regarding the team:
"I feel our strength is our depth. Every event we go to we have to leave three or four very competitive players at home. Its unfortunate but it is very comforting to know the depth is there."

Falar on freshman Shayna Miyajima:
"Last week was Shayna's first trip and she played well. She kept her composure and I was very proud of her performance."
