The Violets faced strong competition throughout the tournament, including No. 1-ranked Emory and No. 2-ranked Carnegie Mellon.
"We knew this was one of the biggest tournaments we play in all year and that we would be facing some of the top teams in the country, so it was outstanding to come out on top," said Head Coach Brad Johnson.
