With the combined performances from the men's and women's squads, the Warriors finished 17th out of 33 competing programs. WSU totaled 30 bout victories across all four days of the event.

Galfalvy represented WSU in the epee weapon and collected seven bout wins, notching a 7-16 overall ledger. The sophomore earned six wins during the first day and one during the second day as she topped Karen Wang of Northwestern 5-4. Galfalvy fell 5-4 in four of her bouts.
