"We came out and played strong this week," Keron said. "Our doubles and singles were very consistent."
Freshman Anna Hart surrendered just two points to her opponents in the two matches she played at No. 2, winning, 6-1, 6-0, and, 6-0, 6-1.
Hart's doubles partner, freshman Camille Ringot, picked up two wins in the No. 1 singles spot.
