On the first day of competition, the Titans played six traditional games, achieving a total pinfall of 3824. Their scores for these games were 716, 577, 624, 689, 563, and 655.

Over six games, Phillips accumulated a total pinfall of 981.

Her best performance was marked by a score of 171 in game three. Lexi Schwiderski from Jacksonville also had an impressive showing with a total pinfall of 790 across six games and scored her highest at 173 in game three.
The second day featured baker match games where IWU added another score of 1933 to their previous day's tally. Despite this effort, there was no significant change in their standings as they concluded the tournament still ranked at number twenty-three.
The Titans are scheduled to compete again next weekend at the Lindenwood Tournament in St. Charles, Missouri.
