In what is believed to be the only event of its kind in NCAA Division III, the 2004 CUNY-NJAC Women's and Men's Basketball Challenge saw 38 NJAC and CUNY women's and men's teams in action at six different sites within New York City on the same day. The 2004 Challenge featured 19 games played at six different CUNY campuses including Lehman College in the Bronx; Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn; City College of New York, Hunter College and Baruch College in Manhattan; and the College of Staten Island.
