Stela Joksimovic and Alicia Eberwein clinched the doubles point after a long rally to finish the season with their team-leading 11th win in No. 2 doubles with a 6-3 triumph against Oziera Ahmad and Maja Jekauc. Joksimovic and Eberwein won their fifth straight match after avenging their 6-1 loss to Ahmad and Jekauc on March 29 in the regular season. 

The Cougars responded in singles, claiming all four matches for the victory.
