Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Held July 17 in Minneapolis, the tournament welcomed 65 pairs to compete.
“If you do the math, this means that they beat 77% of the pairs,” said Trine bridge advisor Chet Pinkham.
The North American Bridge Championships took place July 9-19, featuring competition and training for all levels of players.
