On Sunday, Columbia will go head-to-head against Brown for the consolation title. In the first round, No. 5 seed Columbia dropped a 5-1 match to No. 4 seed Penn. The Lions rebounded with a 5-1 victory over No. 8 seed Wagner.
Junior Emily Chu won both of her individual matchups in each of Columbia's two Saturday matches. Against Wagner, first-year Marlene Tartaro, sophomore Katie Lee, junior Emily Chu, first-year Jennifer Wang and first-year Alexis Florio all won matches.

Eight teams are competing in the event including No. 1 seed Delaware, No. 2 seed Princeton, No. 3 seed Harvard, No. 4 seed Penn, No. 5 seed Columbia, No. 6 seed Brown, No. 7 seed Dartmouth and No. 8 seed Wagner.
