Colorado Springs, Colo. (May 28, 2026) – The D-I College Championships have wrapped with Carleton Syzygy taking the women’s division title to cap an impressive undefeated 37-0 season, while fifth seed Massachusetts Zoodisc went on a dominant run, giving up no more than 10 points in any post season game until the final — which they won 15-11 — to bring home the men’s division title. Both games were broadcast live on ESPNU.
Tensions were high as Carleton and British Columbia took the field Monday, in a rematch of last year’s tightly contested women’s division final. Last year’s winner UBC started off strong, going up three breaks, but Carleton went on an answering run just before half to take them all back. With the score 8-7 in favor of Carleton at half, they stayed on top the remainder of the game, winning the rematch with a final score of 15-13, the perfect end to an undefeated season.
Similar to the start of the women’s final, last year’s winner Carleton went up early in the men’s division championship game, taking a 2-0 lead. However, Massachusetts got a break of their own and the game went to half back on serve. Despite Carleton’s defensive pressure, the Massachusetts offense appeared unfazed, executing holds with calm precision. The depth of their roster (with 17 players in regular rotation) enabled their defense to outlast Carleton, putting up a series of second-half breaks that won the game 15-11 and gave Zoodisc their first national title in 40 years.
Other highlights of the day included a morning Color of Ultimate showcase game, which featured two mixed teams of athletes from across both college divisions, broadcast live by Ultiworld. Spirit Winners for the tournament were also awarded, with Vermont (B) Bruckus taking home the award in their first Championships appearance, and Cal Poly SLOCORE winning spirit in the men’s division.
Final stat leaders for the tournament are Mina Brown (Tufts) with 25 goals, Chloe Hakimi (Carleton) with 42 assists and Freya Spiekerkoetter (Stanford) who achieved 23 blocks. In the men’s division Sarek Mallareddy (Carleton) led with 20 goals, Tobias Brooks (Colorado) had 24 assists, and Logan Piercy (Penn State) led with 9 blocks.
