Maryland wins Fourth National Title

The Maryland Terps won the 2006 National Cheerleaders Association Division I National Championship with a score of 9.31 out of a possible 10. They edged the five-time consecutive national champion Louisville Cardinals by .13 and scored higher than 28 other Division I cheer teams for the win.

The win is incredibly impressive considering the perennial powerhouse Louisville Cardinals have won the title for the past five consecutive years. Maryland won the title in 1999, but had not come close since last year's second place finish.

This was the Maryland University's fourth National title this academic year. The Terps won the Men's Soccer and Women's Field Hockey National tiltle's last Fall, and they have just won the Women's Basketball National title last week.
