After losing to Ryan Doherty and John Hyden in the second round of the tournament, the fifth-seeded Slick and Allen steamrolled through the contenders' bracket to make it to the semifinals, where they got redemption for their NYC finals loss with a victory over Jake Gibb and Taylor Crabb before meeting Sean Rosenthal and Trevor Crabb in the title bout.
Sweat and Ross' victory was the third AVP title for both women. The duo didn't lose a set the entire tournament, defeating Betsi Flint and Kelley Larsen in the final 21-17, 24-22.
