Saturday was the final day of the NCS Team Championships. It was held at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on an amazing weather day. To say we were outgunned that morning in the semifinals would be an understatement. SF University was clearly the top seed and dominated on all but two lines. They showed up with their entire top…
