CSA Nationals in 2022 was held in Philadelphia the weekend of February 19-20. Lafayette entered as the 7th seed for the Hawthorn (C) Division. While our coach Eric Boyer would normally accompany the team to nationals and to other round robins, due to personal conflicts, he was unable to assist this semester.

The team first played Xavier (10th seed), winning 7-2 in the round. In the second round, Lafayette faced its historic rival in Lehigh (2nd seed), however, we lost 1-8 to the Mountain Hawks. In the consolation round, we then lost 0-9 against Notre Dame (6th seed), putting us in the consolation playoffs against Kenyon (8th seed). Lafayette lost a close 4-5 match, ultimately resulting in us placing 8th in the Hawthorn Division. The team came into the tournament as the 23rd-ranked co-ed club team and finished 24th.
