Soulie recorded two losses and a win in the singles bracket. She started the weekend with a loss to a Kansas State player but bounced back that day with a win against a player from Arkansas State. The next day Soulie forfeited a match against a Florida Gulf Coast player and ended her weekend 1-2.
Wilkinson and Horikawa paired up for the doubles bracket and began the weekend with a 6-3 loss to a Purdue pair. The same day, the duo dominated a Kansas State pair 6-1 and a Western Michigan pair 6-1 as well. Wilkinson and Horikawa closed the weekend with a 6-3 loss to a Western Michigan pair, finishing the tournament with a 2-2 record.
On the other side of the doubles bracket, Olson and Soulie started the weekend with a 6-4 win over a Florida Gulf Coast/DePaul pair. The two Lady Rebels continued to excel the next day with a 6-3 win over a Miami Ohio duo. They ended the weekend undefeated in doubles.
