History

The University of Texas at Arlington Movin' Mavs are relative newcomers to the National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball arena, having competed in the National Tournament for the first time in 1990. Having entered the tournament seeded dead last, the Movin' Mavs quickly served notice that they would be a force to be dealt with by finishing fourth and placing two freshmen on the All Tournament Team. The following year the Movin' Mavs worked their way through a tough tournament schedule to ultimate­ ly claim the National Title in a 58-48 win over a tough Wisconsin team. The Movi-n' Mavs take a great deal of pride in their National Championship as they became the first team from UTA to win a National Title in any sport. Last year the Movin' Mavs joined the Central Intercollegiate Conference and completed their confer­ ence schedule undefeated. They successfully defended their National Title by beating a tough Illinois team. As they enter this year's tournament, the Movin' Mavs look forward to the competition and the potential for a "three-peat."
