Their rematch wasn't just while Rin was her master, but also that Kojiro himself had lost his own master. He already said he wouldn't survive the night even if he didn't fight, and this is also after Saber saw his trump card, not that Saber ever used her own.

Rin was also splitting her mana between Saber and Shirou so Saber wasn't exactly getting massive boosts at the time which we should also consider. She could have Excaliblasted him off the stairs easily if conserving mana hadn't been such an issue.
