From 2008 to 2010, he was a member of a Minnesota lineup that included Brendan Byrne, Rob Carson, and Gautam Kandlikar, which is considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the 2010 ACF Nationals, which Andrew Yaphe's Stanford team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with Rob Carson, Gautam Kandlikar, and Mike Cheyne, on the runner-up Minnesota team at both ICT and ACF Nationals. With Brendan, Rob, and Matt Weiner, he won the 2009 Chicago Open, a title he won again in 2011 with Seth Teitler, Selene Koo, and Jeff Hoppes. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a College Bowl national champion.
Andrew is a full member of ACF, a college and high school editor for NAQT, a former member of PACE and head editor of the NSC, a founding editor of HSAPQ, and a co-creator of Minnesota's two annual events: Minnesota Open and MUT.
High school
Andrew played for two years for Chaska High School in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at Chip Beall's 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.
College playing career
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the Matt Cvijanovich Novice Tournament at Illinois in the spring. With teammates Ezra Lyon, Meredith Johnson, and Rita Otto, Andrew and Rob won the 2007 College Bowl National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the Chicago Open.
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament (EFT at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the ACF Undergraduate Championship. Gautam Kandlikar and Bernadette Spencer both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.
In 2008-09, Minnesota added Brendan Byrne, who transferred from Drake. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the 2008 Chicago Open, leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member Mike Cheyne also came to Minnesota in the fall. The team took fourth place at both the 2009 ICT and ACF Nationals, repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and taking second in the ICT undergraduate final to Harvard in a close match.
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the 2009 Chicago Open playing with Rob, Brendan, and Matt Weiner. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota repeated their fourth-place finish at ICT. Minnesota defeated Michigan in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.
At the 2010 ACF Nationals, Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to Maryland in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion Chicago, to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering six tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against Andrew Yaphe's Stanford team. The final saw Stanford jump out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup twelve was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford.
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike lost in the finals at both ICT (lost first advantaged game to Harvard) and ACF Nationals (lost one-game final to Yale). In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with Seth Teitler, Selene Koo, and Jeff Hoppes, defeating a team of Matt Weiner, John Lawrence, Matt Bollinger, and Gautam Kandlikar in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings.
So far, in the 2011-12 season, Minnesota has been able to overcome the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of Mike Cheyne as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president Eliza Grames have kept Minnesota competitive with top regional teams such as Illinois, Michigan, and Chicago.
