Of the 80 qualifiers at the event, the top 16 were grouped together in the top-flight Pool Trophy bracket. Junior Veer Chotrani represented Cornell as the ninth seed in that elite field, and he assured himself of All-America first-team status for a second time with a victory over St. Lawrence's Lewis Anderson on Friday. Later in the day, Chotrani was eliminated from the competition with a loss in the quarterfinals to top-seeded Youssef Ibrahim of Princeton.

The Big Red's other qualifier was in the Molloy East bracket, where sophomore Spencer Yager won a first-round match against Princeton's Zain Ahmed before being ousted by via quarterfinal loss to Penn's Dillon Huang.
