Some key results from that tournament included Daskalova posting a double bagel over Clemson's Kinsey Crawford, 6-0, 6-0. Daskalova also competed in doubles with teammate Oreshchenkova as they defeated Clemson's Crawford and Sophie Clayton by a 6-3 score.
Hlahola picked up a comeback victory in singles over Mississippi State's Gianna Oboniye, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1. Oreshchenkova made it to her singles flight finals with victories against Mississippi State's Carolina Troiana, 7-5, 6-4, and Alabama's Sara Nayar, 6-3, 1-6, 7-5.
