The pairing opened the tournament with a resounding first round victory, earning a bid into the East Region Round of 16 thanks to a sweep against opponents from Grand Valley State. Things were all Splitters from the jump, as the duo of Florea and Hrasek ran away with an early 6-2 lead in the opening round, before a closer match in round two ended with a Splitters run, securing the sweep and a bid to face the top-seeded pairing in the region. The next round proved a challenge for the Railsplitters.
