Baylor Quidditch headed to US Quidditch Cup

By Nathan Keil | Sports Writer

Baylor Quidditch is one step closer to winning a championship.

The Bears qualified for the U.S. Quidditch Cup this past February when they competed in the Southwest Regional Championships.

The tournament, which runs Sat. and Sun. in Kissimmee, Fla., pits the top 60 Quidditch programs against one another in a single-loss elimination bracket to determine U.S. Quidditch supremacy.

Earning the berth to the most prestigious Quidditch tournament was far from easy for Baylor. The regional tournament was an uphill battle as the Bears squared off with both Texas A&M and Sam Houston State University, both teams they were expected to lose to.
