The team of Trent Constance and Peter Jacobs followed suit, beating Moritz Bernhoerster and Jesse Hutchinson 8-6 at the one spot to clinch the doubles point.

Keeping Appalachian spotless in doubles action, Andrew McKinnon and Britton Webb were victorious as well, grabbing an 8-3 win at the three slot.
