It wasn’t all bad news for the University of Pittsburgh over the 
weekend.

“I’m happy to say Pittsburgh fared far better in the Regional Collegiate 
Cyber Defense Competition than they did against Villanova in [men's] 
basketball,” said Ron Knode, one of the organizers of the Mid-Atlantic 
regional contest.

Pittsburgh’s cyber defense team will be advancing to the national 
competition next month at the University of Texas at San Antonio, 
beating out George Washington University, James Madison University and 
the defending regional champ, and the Community College of Baltimore

Pittsburgh’s number-one ranked men's basketball team fell over the

The National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC) is March

the right to go to the NCCDC, a three-day event hosted by the UT- San

finals will be held April 17-19.
