I think Pitt has won a couple of national championships in this sport

The men and women both won their groups and play Sunday at roughly the same time in the quarterfinals.

The women play Oregon at 9AM. The men play Wisconsin at 9:30AM.

The semifinals are on ESPN3 later in the say.

The men and women both advanced to the semifinals.

The women play Colorado at 3:30. The men play Carleton College at 6:30. Both games are on ESPN3.

Just going by scores and seeding, the women have a good chance to beat Colorado. The men would be significant underdogs against the #1 seed Carleton College.

Ninth seeded Pitt men upset #1 seed Carleton 15-11. Will play for the title Monday at 3pm ET on ESPNU against #2 North Carolina.


Tenth seeded Pitt women fall to #12 seed Colorado 13-12 in what appeared to be some kind of sudden death ending.

I think Pitt has won a couple of national championships in this sport

Pitt won back-to-back D1 national titles in 2012 and 2013. Pitt also has had the "Heisman" winner, called the Callahan Award, in 2016. Pitt has qualified for the national championship tournament 14 straight years (every year since 2005 which means it is has been considered a top 20 national team) and hasn't failed to advance to the quarterfinals (tied for 5th) since 2009.

Although these are all club teams, this is the highest level of the sport played in college and it is run by USA Ultimate, the sport's governing body which is recognized by the USOC. Some teams offer scholarships, recruit players, and pay their coaches. Pitt even has some scholarships money that the team has raised and endowed the fund for itself. Pitt has also produced many players that went on to play in the semi-professional ultimate league which has a team based in Pittsburgh (the Thunderbirds). Pitt is considered a national power, along with Wisconsin (3 national titles since 2000), Colorado (2 titles), Florida (2 titles), and Carelton College (4 titles). A win would really cement Pitt as a major national power.
