The Kangaroos swept doubles action to claim the doubles point. UMKC earned a 6-0 win at the top position, and two-game margin victories at the No. 2 (7-5) and No. 3 (6-4) slots.
Creighton's Harrison Lang and Brooks Kendall each picked up their 11th singles victory of the season on Tuesday. Lang claimed a three-set victory at No. 2 (7-6, 4-6, 6-3), while Kendall won it straight-sets at No. 3.

"Credit UMKC for playing hard at all positions and winning some big points in singles," head coach Tom Lilly said. "We weren't able to hold serve enough in doubles, and UMKC played well.
"Harrison and Brooks each picked up great wins in singles, responding after a rough doubles match."
