Senior Jennifer Ott (Knoxville, Tenn.) was beaten in round one by RU's Kroll in a third-set tiebreaker 2-6, 6-1, 10-7. Ott proceeded to the final round of B Singles Consolation play after beating MG's Greene 6-1, 6-2, but lost in the final to MG's Gordiga 7-5, 6-4.

C-N's Catherine Cook won her first three matches before bowing out in the final in C Singles main draw. Cook stole a 7-5, 6-4 contest from Lee's Friedlander in round one, a 7-5, 6-3 game from MG's Culpepper in round two, and drained Lee's Hudhall 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinal match.

In group A doubles play, Corsato and Mallory Jackson of C-N won the consolation round 8-6 over the MG team of Vaslieva/Gordiga.

Carson-Newman took both the B and C doubles main draw titles. The team of Ott and Guerreiro hosed RU's duo Puentes/Siebold 8-5 in the semis before roping in an 8-4 finals victory over Lee's Yowarsky/Good.
