I believe so. I really don't think the Senate can refuse to accept Articles of Impeachment, or refuse to act on them. Here's a set of rules for the Senate- it's fairly old, but I'm not aware of any updates.

https://www.senate.gov/about/resources/pdf/1868-impeachment-rules.pdf

And in the first section, thus:

I. Whensoever the Senate shall receive notice from the House of Representatives that managers are appointed on their part to conduct an impeachment against any person, and are directed to carry articles of impeachment to the Senate, the Secretary of the Senate shall immediately inform the House of Representatives that the Senate is ready to receive the managers for the purpose of exhibiting such articles of impeachment agreeably to said notice.

I wouldn't make a bet on that. There are few laws followed and no conventions being observed.
