Vandy’s Prairie View History
Vanderbilt has attended this quality tournament for years, but it has only won one championship. That came in 2012, aided by Brittni Hamilton’s 300 game. Its past two trips to Arlington resulted in runner-up finishes.
Last Time Out
- The Commodores finished second at the Northeast Classic after leading the tournament nearly wire-to-wire. Nebraska prevailed in the title match, 4-2.
- The runner-up finish marked the fourth consecutive second-place trophy Vanderbilt has won.
