Cristina Oliveira and Ola Roberts, at #1 doubles, stayed in control as they won 8-1. The #2 doubles team of Ortiz and Plevako held court just the same with an 8-0 victory. Looking for the sweep in doubles, #3 doubles team of Brennan and Xavier worked hard and took their match 8-4.
With three matches under their belt the Clippers headed for the
singles. Freshman Yuliya Plevako dominated on the court with
a 6-0; 6-0 over her opponent at #3 singles. Cristina
Oliveira, at #2 Singles; Maria Ortiz, at #4 singles; and Adeline
