The host Jags emerged with the doubles point after a tight, decisive battle at No. 3. 

Brigitte Swartwood and Valeriia Lavrenchuk downed Cary Milanes (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto)/Randi Wind (Park Ridge, Ill./Maine South), 6-2, at No. 2 doubles to open afternoon play. Kathleen Hebble (Silversburg, Ind./Silver Creek) and Paige Heuer (Munster, Ind./Munster) held serve with a 6-3 win over Sara Sherif/Samantha Mayer at No. 1. With the first point up for grabs, IUPUI's Bobbi Modesto and Mariella Pessina outlasted the Crusaders' tandem of Meg Modesto/Erin Staal (Grand Haven, Mich./Grand Haven), 7-5, at No. 3.

Bobbi Modesto subsequently gave the Jaguars a 2-0 lead with a 6-3, 6-0 defeat of Wind at No. 5 singles. Lavrenhuck followed with a 6-2, 6-4 dispatching of Hebble, 6-2, 6-4, atop singles play. 

Marina Schneiger clinched the match for IUPUI after getting past Morgan Paras (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard), 6-0, 6-1. 

Heuer got the Brown and Gold on the scoreboard with a dramatic 6-4, 3-6, 10-7 victory versus Sherif at No. 2. Mayer, however, responded with a 6-3, 7-5 gain at No. 3 against Milanes.
