The 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 win in the round of 16 advanced Zemenova to the quarterfinals where she faced No. 21 Ani Mijacka of Auburn.

After winning the first sets of her quarterfinal round, Zemenova lost two straight sets to Mijacka, ending her run in the events top draw.

"Mijacka was just the better player today," head coach Joey Scrivano said. "She out-served and overpowered ZZ in the last two sets."

Broosova also had her championship run come to an end during the second day of top draw action. After a win in first round action, Broosova dropped her match in the round of 16 to Georgia Tech's Maya Johansson, who also reached the main event by competing in the qualifying rounds.
