The Parkland team would fall in the next round to Central’s Julia Janis and Michaela Durie and that team would win the bracket as the three seed. They upset the top seed, Emmaus’ Katy Kapp and Nat Hillegass.

In four doubles, the Northampton duo of Jarelis Rosado-Cedeno and Abigail Wright earned the eight seed. They would fall to top seed Mehek Garg and Sophie Law of Parkland. That Parkland duo would advance to the finals but fall to Emmaus’ Emily Kaufman and Riya Patel, which were the two-seeds.
