Briana Miller made history while Chris Robinson won his first national title at the 2017 ACUI Collegiate 9-Ball Championships June 16-18 at the Billiards and Game Room on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Miller captured her fourth straight title by defeating Heather Platter from Maryland, becoming the first player to ever to claim four national collegiate championships.  It was an all Lions final in the men's division with Robinson besting teammate Landon Shuffett, the 2014 and 2015 title holder.  Robinson also won the Sportsmanship Award.

Coach Wilson was proud of his team's accomplishments.

"It's been very satisfying to see how the performance and behavior of our team has raised the standard of competition overall, and to have one of our players voted for the Sportsmanship Award by his peers is even more rewarding because that's how we define winning," he said.  "It's more than just the final score.  It's also setting a good example while changing the image and direction of our sport in a positive way."

A total of five players represented the Lions at the 9-Ball Championships with Carly Fristoe finishing in the seventh position in the women's field and Alan Oliver finishing in the ninth through 12^th position in men's competition. 

The victories by Miller and Robinson extended a streak of Lindenwood players winning both the men's and women's individual championships to four straight years.
