It was Senior Night for Dickinson, which took all nine matches by a score of 3-0. The only contest that saw Denison reach double-digits was in the third game of the first flight when
Abdallah Bekhiet pushed Nicolas Serna to 10-10, before falling 12-10. At the second spot, Dickinson's Omar Ali had to rally back from a late 9-6 deficit in the third to claim an 11-9 win over Denison's
Tarun Mammen.
Against Georgetown, Mammen and
Mario Reifschneider both earned 3-0 wins in the No. 2 and No. 4 seeds, respectively. In the No. 3 seed,
