F&M established control at the top of the lineup, with Sharan Punjabi and Toby Clegg-Petri both securing 3-0 sweeps at the top two flights. The Diplomats continued to roll through the middle of the order, as Noah Katzer, Jamie Stait, David Vahlsing, and Teerth Jilka each posted 3-0 wins.

Haverford's Jet Li provided resistance at the third flight, jumping out to an early lead by taking the first game 11-6. F&M's Aditya Chandani responded by winning the next three to claim the match, 3-1.

F&M's Eeshan Sawant mounted a late surge, however, taking the final two frames 11-3, 11-3 for the 3-2 victory.

Another grueling match unfolded at the ninth flight, where Haverford rookie Dean Ibrahim forced a deciding fifth game after winning the first and fourth (11-5, 11-4). F&M's Hunarpal Kohli edged out the 3-2 win with an 11-9 decision in the fifth to close out the 40-minute match.
