The Collegiate Chess League is on online league sponsored by the Corporate eSports Association and other gaming related companies.  Fall and Spring seasons run separately.  Fall 2022 saw a new format.  Instead of playing matches pitting college teams against each other, the fall season had college players competing against each other at an individual level, while still representing their schools.  
Each Saturday, for five weeks, 6-round, 400+ person tournaments were held.  Based on the full season results, players were slotted into divisions for double-elimination playoffs.  SHU player results were as follows:

• Brent McCreesh: 48^th place, qualified for Division 3 and earned a cash prize of $125
• NM Mark DeDona: 81^st place, qualified for Division 6
• Ryan Richter: 273^rd place, qualified for Division 18
• Aidan Shamas: 285^th place, qualified for Division 18

Due to conflicts with the SHU Pioneer Open tournament, all SHU students had to forfeit midway through the playoffs.  Partial results included Brent McCreesh defeating a National Master (NM) and advancing to the third round.  NM Mark DeDona went undefeated after 2 rounds.  Ryan Richter and Aidan Shamas each won a round and lost a round.
