This was the third time for the university and second time for Liem to triumph in a row at the annual tournament.
The President's Cup, which was previously named the Final Four of College Chess, lures the strongest teams of the Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship.
The three other competing teams were from the University of Texas, Texas Tech University and the University of Maryland.
At the March 27-29 event, all three matches were won and topped at the tournament.
This was Liem's third title within a month, as he also won gold medals during the World Cup's Zone 3.3 qualifying round and the International HD Bank chess tournament in HCM City earlier this month.-VNA
