Three Advance To NCAA Singles/Doubles Quarterfinals

ORLANDO - Top seed Sara Daavettila has reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Singles Championship, while No. 4 seed Makenna Jones and Elizabeth Scotty advanced to the quarters in the NCAA Doubles Championship on Tuesday from the USTA National Campus.

Daavettila took out No. 21 Jessica Failla of Pepperdine in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. The Williamston, Michigan, native is the only player in program history and just the fourth from an Atlantic Coast Conference program to reach the quarterfinals three times in a career.
