The duo of Peppi Ramstedt and Rhona Cook defeated Cal State Fullerton's Milena Gevorgyan and Audrey Large, 6-3, while Justine Dondonay and Paulina Franco Martinessi took down UC Irvine's Jenna Schlatter and Kayla Meraz, 6-4. The two LBSU pairs will now face off in the finals of the Black Draw Winner's Bracket.
In the Gold Draw Winner's Bracket, Mathilde Tranberg and Hana Becirovic Novak handed CSUN's Sofia Dermenjyan and Cydney Tolmoyan a 6-4 loss. The Beach duo will face another Beach tandem in Sarah Medik and Doga Akyurek in the Gold Draw Winner's Bracket final.
