Columbia (3-1) opened its 2021-22 spring season with back-to-back dual match wins over LIU (6-1) and Sacred Heart (7-0) last Sunday at LifeTime Westchester. The Lions then traveled to the ITA Kick-Off event in Malibu, Calif., where it lost a 4-0 first round decision to No. 7 ranked and host Pepperdine and then defeated Colorado 4-1 in the Consolation Match. With the victory, Columbia won on the second day of an ITA Kick-Off event for the first time since January 26, 2014 when it swept Tulane 4-0.
