We went 1-1 at Mount St. Joseph’s (located just outside of Cincinnati), losing to ninth-ranked Washington University-St. Louis on the first night and beating Case Western Reserve University on the second night. In this podcast, we broke down each game and also ranked our favorite team meals from the weekend-long trip.
