**After the match was completed a protest was filed regarding the match. According to ITA and Big West rules, an ad-hoc protest committee was created to review the protest, decide whether a violation had occurred, and, if so, determine whether match results would change as a result. The committee consisted of three neutral administrators from Big West institutions who would not be affected by the outcome of the protest. Today, the protest committee issued a decision that changed Cal Poly's Big West record from 5-4 to 5-3-1. As a result, Cal Poly moves to the No.5 and Cal State Fullerton moves to the No. 6 seed. There are no other changes.**
