With the win Wilkes pushed its win streak to six standing 6-0 overall and 3-0 in league matches. Arcadia remained winless at 0-5 overall and 0-3 in conference matches.

Cole Gibson (Pinecrest, FL/Miami Palmetto Senior) and Matt Angara (Stewartsville, NJ/Phillipsburg) finished 8-4 at No. 2 before Jack Maline (Colorado Springs, CO/Northport) and John Toussaint (Dallas, PA/Dallas Senior) scored an 8-6 win at No. 1.
