Weeden was a semifinalist at the Connecticut State Championships, Quinnipiac's last competition of the fall.  Playing on the opposite side of the draw as his NEC counterpart Kirill Kasyanov, Weeden was eliminated by Yale's Erik Blumenkranz, but not before the rookie Bobcat notched a trio of impressive wins.  Following a bye in the Round of 64, Weeden made quick work of UConn's Dave Adams in a 6-2, 6-1 victory.  In the Round of 16, the two-time NEC Rookie of the Week posted a comeback victory over Fairfield's Dan Sauter, 6-7, 6-4, 10-5, to earn a quarterfinal match against his Quinnipiac teammate Brian Mikkelson.  Once again, Weeden came back from down one set to defeat Mikkelson, a junior who earned first team all-NEC honors a year ago, in a third-set super tiebreaker.
