UNC punched their ticket to the title game for the sixth-consecutive season after sweeping rival Duke. Just a few days later, they took care of business against a really good UCLA team to win it all.

Things got off to a great start in doubles with Cameron Morra and Elizabeth Scotty defeating Abbey Forbes and Annette Goulak by a 6-2 score to earn win number one on the day for the Tar Heels. Following that, UNC got a win in singles as Makenna Jones defeated Annette Goulak 6-0, 6-2.

From there it was all Tar Heels.

UNC got a win from Elizabeth Scotty who defeated Abi Altick  6-4, 6-1 and then wrapped it all up with Alexa Graham beating Elysia Bolton 7-6 (4), 6-3. The Tar Heels are now 10-0 and have won the national indoor championship in 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2020.
