2011 Beach Party Invitational
November 21, 2011
Irvine, California
With nasty weather looming on the Seattle weekend forecast, UW escaped south to compete at the Beach Party Invitational hosted by the University of California, Irvine. The unique tournament format had both of the UW teams competing together as one, matched the Huskies’ teams against the combined strengths of four other programs. After a tournament-opening loss to the Irvine Anteaters (the eventual tournament champions), the Huskies had a winning record the rest of the way, finishing just one ballot shy of a .500 record and an honorable mention finish.

For the majority of UW’s team this was the first competition of the year, and for some of our newer members it was their inaugural collegiate mock trial experience. The sunny California weather may have decided not to come out this weekend, but the future of this program is so bright, shades are advised in any case.
