Buffalo Tournament

October 1-2, 2005

With the momentum from a successful season opener at Kings the previous week, UR debate headed into Buffalo and claimed its first tournament victory of the season, as Buddy Khan and Rohan Naik took home the championship in the Varsity/Open division. The novice team of Ryan Bach and Iskra Miralem reached the final round in their division for the second week in a row; after two tournaments, they have already accomplished more than many debaters do their entire novice year. Congratulations to everyone on a great tournament!
