All four of these Hatters won in singles as well with Purushotham putting down Alexa Flynn 6-1, 6-1 at the #2 position for the biggest win.  De los Santos beat Jenna Nurik 6-2, 6-3 on Court 1, Gunning won 6-4, 6-2 over Emily Hangstefer on Court 3, freshman MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell (Asheville, N.C.) knocked off Shaina Singh 7-6, 6-2 and Cable bounced Diana Zora 6-3, 6-3.  The only match to go three sets saw freshman Sierra Sullivan (Austin, Texas) preserve the shutout with a 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 comeback win over Charlotte Bossy on Court 5.
