Competing for Blinn on Monday were Dylan GerlachZiyad KhallafHayden Miller,  Chase Siragusa, and Michael Pope.

“We were a bit sloppy in game one but cleaned it up for game two and came away with a clean win as a team,” Blinn head coach Aaron Kapiko said. “We are excited to continue our playoff run later this week against one of the Wake Technical teams. Quarterfinals is a good place to be but certainly not the end goal for this team.”
