The 28 points scored by the men were the most in school history, while the seventh place finish ties for the best. For the women, the 20 points also were the most in school history, with the seventh place finish the highest ever for the Terriers.

"I am very proud of the way that we competed this weekend," said head coach Johnny Bomar. "This was the biggest point total ever for both teams and I am excited about that. The team put in a lot of hard work, and that hard work paid off for them."
