With the team score knotted at four all, the match came down to the #1 match between Fordham's Kincade Webster and Lehigh's Ian Udvarhelyi.  Webster lost the first set, 10-12, but settled down in the next two, 11-9 and 11-2, to go up two games to one. Then, in game four, they reached a tiebreaker with Webster squeaking out a couple of points after having a game ball against him to close out the match at 13-11.
 
On Saturday, Fordham beat Ithaca, 9-0, with no match going beyond three games.  Webster won at the #1 slot, 11-3, 11-2, 11-5, over Quin Crofton to lead the way for the Rams.  Will Wardrop (#2), Joseph Hughes (#3), Paul Monaghan (#4), Alex LaVersa (#5), Jimmy Shinnick (#6), John Lennon (#7), Ross Garlick (#8), and James Potts (#9) rounded out the victories for Fordham.
