Wrapping up the day's events, the team secured victory in the final baker match against Wright State University with a score of 960-893. 

The tournament will kick off on Friday and will consist of five sets of five-game baker matches. Saturday will kickstart five traditional team games. On Sunday, the tournament will finish with three best-of-seven baker matches in bracket play.
