After four single-elimination rounds, the 2023 NCAA Doubles Championship will be made up of two Carolina doubles pairs.

Fiona Crawley and Carson Tanguilig will face teammates Reese Brantmeier and Elizabeth Scotty in the championship match on Saturday.

To begin the day, Brantmeier and Scotty defeated University of Southern California’s Cayetano/Sieg, 6-4, 6-3 to advance to Saturday. Scotty will play for her second collegiate doubles championship tomorrow. In 2021, she won the NCAA doubles championship with Makenna Jones.

Crawley and Tanguilig cemented their spot in the championship match after defeating Virginia’s Adams/Collard. Earlier in the season, Adams/Collard defeated the Carolina duo by a score of 6-3.

Tomorrow, the Tar Heels will win its third doubles championship in program history (2007, 2021). Three doubles championships is the third-most all-time.
