Editor's note: This story has been updated to correct the results at No. 3 doubles from what was incorrectly originally listed in results submitted to the Eclipse. Any reference to team scores has also been removed with the exception of acknowledging Columbus as team champions, which I can reasonably confirm through social media posts. I apologize for publishing incorrect information that I received from what I assumed to be a trustworthy source.
