The Other Final Four

The University of Texas at Dallas won first place in the final four of college chess, keeping its 60-game winning streak alive and defeating archrival University of Maryland-Baltimore County. The other teams to make the final four were Miami Dade College and Duke University. UT Dallas officials said that the coach, Rade Milovanovic, closed his practices in the week prior to the final matches, and added alternates to his roster, to keep opposing teams unsure of who would be playing.
