Dennis Welte ends the year with a personal winning streak of seven straight as the sophomore captain locked down a 3-0 blanking (11-8, 11-7, 11-9) of Juan Felipe Hernandez at the No. 1 position. Tommy Le, playing at No. 5, closed out his first year as a Bobcat with a 3-0 win of his own, defeating Ross Falcon (11-3, 11-4, 11-2).

Tanish Tanngri need four games (11-4, 8-11, 11-4, 11-5) to send off Jackson Bragman in the No. 6 slot. John Kim outlasted Aimaan Zakaria at No. 7 in five (4-11, 4-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-3) after trailing two-games-to-zero to start the session.

Denison (9-7) will now take on sixth-seed and No. 26 ranked Wesleyan in Saturday's Consolation final at 6:00 p.m. after the Cardinals upset second-seed and No. 22 ranked Chatham, 5-4, in the other semifinal match.
