This week, a number of tie-breaking scenarios were enacted to determine the rankings.
Princeton, Penn, and Trinity each were 1-1 against one another. To break the tie at the 3rd ranking position, the total individual matches won in the series were used: Princeton 11 individual matches, Penn 10 individual matches, and Trinity 6 individual matches.
After Amherst defeated Mount Holyoke, the teams in the 14 through 18 ranking range had each beaten each other: Mount Holyoke 2-1, Hamilton 2-1, Bowdoin 1-2, and Amherst 1-2. To break the tie, the CSA used the tie-breaking scenario once again: Mount Holyoke 18 matches, Hamilton 15 matches, Bowdoin 13 matches, and Amherst 11 matches. Due to Franklin & Marshall’s victory over Bowdoin earlier in the year, they maintained the 17th-ranking position.
