Asbury Hall was the second all-freshman team to go. They opened up with an inspirational monologue and were dressed as activist group the Black Panthers.

The winners of the step show were an all-male dorm, Highrise. They claimed the title with a ninja theme. They were clearly a crowd favorite, receiving a standing ovation throughout the performance.
