The top-seeded Terriers, who dropped the doubles point to the second-seeded Retrievers, rebounded with four-straight singles wins to earn the title, their 14th in the 15-year history of the league championship. Boston University did not compete in the 1993 league championship, marking the only season it did not come away with the conference crown.

Laura Ahmes led Adriana Fonseca 5-2 at fifth singles and Aimee Charest was ahead of Elizabeth Anderson 2-1 at sixth singles when both matches were suspended with the team result decided.

The Retrievers won the doubles point with two-of-three wins. Kaasalainen and Khvalina downed Katims and Charest (8-3) at No. 1 and Pedergnana and Lim defeated Ahmes and Glas (9-8) at No. 2 to earn the point for UMBC.
