The Hoya, the Georgetown student paper, did have some information on
the victory over Tulane (I don't know if they mentioned any of the
Green Wave competitors, though it did have the famously sexist comment
that Tulane "in a bit of Southern charm, included two girls on its
team").  I heavily recommend that anyone with some free time
investigate their school papers on any appearances - Georgetown's
appearance was one of the top ten things to happen to the school that
year, and the squad was front-page news more than once (as an added
plus, one of Georgetown's players on that team went on to become
Georgetown's president).

I'd also recommend checking with the alumni office.  As the above
indicates, this was a big deal and the school may have some more
specific information (it's also going to be easier to work through the
alumni office than emailing someone and asking them for money).

If you have someone with any ability, try to put up a webpage, link it
to the university, and give it a history section - that will
occasionally draw interested alumni who are curious about the current
state of activities in which they participated and who may be more
willing to earmark donations for either student clubs in general or
your club in particular.
