Later that evening, Mines responded emphatically with a dominant 3–0 sweep of Georgia Tech. The Orediggers were flawless defensively, posting shutouts in all three games with scores of 6–0, 5–0, and 2–0. Rocket League athletes Jack Cowden, Keet Holdridge, and Trevor Proskovec anchored a complete team performance.

Standout performances came from Mason Ngo, AJ Owen, Alex Eshelman, Keagan Veitch, and Ryder Demo as the team executed clean rotations and objective control.
