A decisive 6–0 win from Adam Hartford and Keenan Haws at No. 2 doubles secured the doubles point for Olivet. The No. 1 doubles pairing of Chatton Haws and Paul Saleh were leading 3-2 when the match was called due to the doubles point already being secured by ONU.

In the No. 1 singles match, Chatton Haws secured the decisive point for Olivet with a 6-0, 6-0 sweep.
