With the win, Union (7-7) moves into a tie for second place on the school single-season wins list with the most victories in a season since 2005-06 (7-5). The team is one back of the program record of eight wins (8-1) set in 1974.
 
Nine different players played a role in Union's eight victories on the day, with senior Aidan O'Brien the only Union player to earn a pair of victories against the Red Dragons.

Junior Bailey McAtee and sophomore Austin Gregory broke the ice with their third straight third-doubles victory, 8-4 over Noah Khair and Joshua Mann, followed by O'Brien and sophomore Seth Prusko knocking off August LePique and William Schmid by an 8-2 score.
 
The visitors followed up by sweeping all six singles matches to secure the win, with no player losing more than four games. Senior Thomas McGuire improved to 7-4 at sixth singles with a double-bagel win over Mann, followed soon after by O'Brien with a 6-0, 6-2 fourth-singles win over Schmid. Sophomore Ian Schunk clinched the win at fifth singles, defeating Khair by a 6-0, 6-1 score.
 
Junior Dimitris Binopoulos got back to his winning ways with a 6-1, 6-3 triumph over Mason Spottek at second singles, followed by sophomore Ben Jacobs besting LePique at the top flight, 6-1, 6-2, for his third straight victory.
