Junior Holden Koons and William Karpinski capped off a stellar weekend of doubles, taking down Youngstown State's Erik Gran and Harry Fouzas by a score of 6-2. The Dukes produced a 6-2 doubles win from sophomore Mario Pena and freshman Mathieu Josserand, as they upended UNCW's Ignacio Sandoval and John Dransfeld, 6-2, in the consolation final.

JMU also claimed five singles victories to round out its first fall event of the 2021-22 season.
