The Championships were hosted by Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY, from Friday to Sunday, September 20-22.

- Wu battled back in the second set but still lost 6-4, ending his stellar run.

"Steve had a great tournament," said Head Coach Horace Choy. "I am very happy for him. He deserves the success that he had. He works hard and is a team guy. He is an excellent representative of NYU and the paradigm of a student-athlete."
