They say “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” but the Division III national championship trophy is coming home to St. Louis with the WashU women’s soccer team. For the second time in program history, the Bears are national champions, after defeating No. 11 William Smith College 3-0 on Dec. 8, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The No. 5 WashU men’s basketball fell to The University of Chicago 66-71 in the Bears’ first University Athletic Association (UAA) game of the season. With the loss, the Bears are now 10-2 this season.
