The results of a coincidence search for a short burst of gravitational radiation from supernova 1993J with the Allegro and Explorer cryogenic resonant-mass detectors are reported. No detection can be claimed, but an upper limit on the possible strain amplitude from the supernova is calculated. A new method of performing coincidence searches is introduced.
