- In women’s doubles play, Renton combined with Caitlin Flower to take down Bartyzel and Ava Nelson to win the doubles crown.
- Renton becomes the first player to win both the singles and doubles Masters in MAAC history, and she along with Flower are the first Masters champions for the Bobcats.
- This also marked the second straight season Bartyzel was runner-up in the doubles bracket.
- Rider’s Matteus Froberg Dahlin took down Siena’s Sviatoslav Koliadynskyi in straight sets to capture the men’s singles title.
- Dahlin had a near-perfect tournament, only dropping one set through four tournament matches to become the Broncs’ first champion at the MAAC Masters.
- In the men’s doubles bracket, Fairfield’s Alex Aguiar and Diego Alcala defeated Ian Layton and Gregor Heinemann of Marist.
