Bouncing back in the consolation bracket, Sullivan defeated both Zach Rahl of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (9-7) and Keonmin Hwang of Wesleyan University by a 5-2 decision before advancing to the next round via medical forfeit. However, Sullivan fell to Sean Sercu of RIT in the following round by a pin at the 3:57 mark.
