Team: Pierre defended its team title, outscoring second-place Watertown 378-293.

No. 4 singles: Watertown junior Anna Jones.
No. 5 singles: Pierre junior Bethany Goeden.
No. 6 singles: Watertown senior Carly Hiedeman.
No. 1 doubles: Mitchell senior Laura Osterloo and Cersosimo.
No. 2 doubles: Pierre's Forest and Goeden.
No. 3 doubles: Watertown senior Sara Saathoff and Hiedeman.
