On the final day of competition, No 2 Texas A&M, No. 17 Southern California and Hawai'i competed in doubles matches only to conclude the four-day tournament.

In their first match, Lanz and Forgac fell short against USC's Grace Piper and Lily Fairclough, 7-6 (7-4). In their second match, Lanz and Forgac were edged out by Texas A&M's Lucciana Perez and Daria Smetannikov, 7-6 (9-7).
UH's
