In his second season at the helm, Porter led Southwestern to the SCAC men's title match for the first time in program history where his squad defeated seventh-seeded Centenary College (5-0) and third-seeded Schreiner (5-2) before falling to Trinity in the title match.

Porter has posted a 25-10 mark in his two years leading the men's program at Southwestern.

Snovely went 11-4 at #1 singles this season and 15-4 at #1 doubles with partner Grant Gideon. Farmen posted a 13-2 overall singles mark playing at #3 and 14-3 record in #3 doubles with Sam McCready.
