The girls team championship match was as close as the boys. Sisters Rachana and Kirtana Bhat earned the title over Ironwood Ridge with their doubles victory.

In Division III team play, Tucson Pusch Ridge Christian won the boys crown and Miami took the girls title.

Camron Vick and Davis Towne won their doubles match to clinch the title for Pusch Ridge against Fountain Hills.
