The Engineers began their dominant weekend in Philadelphia by overpowering Rochester 8-1 in the quarterfinals before securing a 6-3 semifinal victory over Navy. In a thrilling championship final against Colby, the match came down to a decisive battle in the fifth ladder where Rishabh Sharma clinched the 5-4 team win.
