Championships notes: Auburn is the defending national champion going for its third title in four years. But with the loss of five all-Americans, the Tigers will have to dig deep for the win. Coach David Marsh said, "If our NCAA qualifiers from last year move into leadership roles for the program, then we should still have a chance to contend." The Texas Longhorns are hard at work to see that doesn't happen. Texas holds the No. 1 ranking in the CSCAA poll as of early February. Close behind them are the Arizona Wildcats. Auburn is in the No. 3 spot.
