The women swept the three doubles matches by identical 6-2 scores. Chiara Aguirre Cortez and Julia Turek played at No. 1, Hayden Evans and Catherine Meystrik teamed at No. 2, and Jenna Smithmeyer and Paige Owens played at No. 3.

The St. Ambrose men (11-6, 1-3 CCAC) also won the doubles point but couldn't win enough singles victories in the competitive dual.
