Ironically, the Lions will be getting a rematch against Trinity in its Potter Cup Draw. Columbia and Trinity squared off in the Potter Cut quarterfinals in Columbia's last appearance. The Bantams squeaked out a 5-4 win.
ย
THE REGULAR SEASON
Columbia posted a record of 8-6 during the 2021-22 regular season. Two of their top wins came against then-No. 7 Virginia and then-No. 5 Drexel. Virginia is the No. 7 seed in this weekend' tournament. Drexel also advanced to the Potter Cup as the No. 8 seed.
ย
AT THE TOP
Senior Velavan Senthilkumar has played the majority of matches in the No. 1 position for the Lions this season, going 5-5 overall. Callan Hall is 5-4 at the No. 2, while James Wyatt is 5-4 at the No. 3.
ย
THE SERIES
Columbia will be hoping for its first win in program history over Trinity, entering the weekend 0-10 all-time against the Bantams. Two of the last four matches were extremely close with Trinity squeaking out 5-4 victories. Trinity earned an 8-1 victory earlier this season in New York.
