🏅Final Result

The first-ever Adidas Collegiate World Championships lived up to the hype. With India and Chinese Taipei sending their collegiate all-star teams to compete in the U.S., the event showcased true international representation beyond American colleges.

India (Anuja Maheshwari, Mayur Patil, Vanshik Kapadia, Vrushali Thakare) and Utah Tech (Clayton Boydston, Ella Boydston, Liam Duffin, Mary Monson) entered the tournament as the top-ranked teams based on DUPR ratings — and as predicted, both powered through the bracket with relative ease.

💡Fun Fact: Rumor had it that Team India didn’t even tie their shoes until the finals. Whether true or not, they certainly played like it — dominating every match, only dropping one game on their way there.

The finals tested both squads. Utah Tech displayed dominance in Women’s Doubles, dictating play from start to finish, while India took firm control in Men’s Doubles. That left the championship to be decided in Mixed Doubles, where Utah Tech pulled away to win both matches — no DreamBreaker required.

⭐ Standout Performances

  • Chris Jammal (University of Houston):  Chris Jammal led the University of Houston to a stunning upset over Utah State, showcasing a combination of high pickleball IQ, explosive athleticism, and clutch play under pressure. His performance this weekend turned heads — and hinted at the potential for a future pro career.
  • Darcy Shore (Arizona State University):  ASU’s newest freshman, Darcy Shore, is already proving to be a valuable addition to the first team. Her elite dinking skills and well-rounded game elevate ASU’s chances of clinching future titles.
  • Mary Monson (Utah Tech):  With Lauren Mercado absent from Worlds, Mary Monson delivered — as she always does. Confident and composed, she handled the moment with her usual poise and precision. Her power and consistency in the Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles finals proved invaluable, helping Utah Tech secure the 2025 Adidas Collegiate World Championship title.
  • A special shoutout to Ivanna from U Miami for her unmatched passion and team spirit. Her positive energy — both on the court and from the sidelines — perfectly captured what collegiate pickleball is all about. Ivanna believes that one day collegiate will be bigger than the pros — and CollegiatePB couldn’t agree more! 😉
