Joe Cornejo has advanced to the Championship finals tomorrow night. His opponent will be Jeremy Powell from Lindenwood.

Nice Work Joe! The finals can be watched for $7.95...not bad for some national finals. Thanks for the update Richard...the OCU site still hasn't updated. Do you have any team scores?
