The No. 3 doubles match was unfinished, with Sophie Diop and Maddie Swire leading 5–0 when the doubles point was decided.
• The Mammoths then finished the job in singles behind straight-set wins from Maddie Swire, Sophie Diop, and Tina She. Swire was the first off the court, followed by Diop and then She, each delivering a dominant performance to close out the match and secure the sweep. All three of them won their singles matches 6–0, 6–0, without losing a single game.
