She lost to the eventual winner, No. 3 Seed Yuliya Yurkova from Norfolk State, in the semi-final match in a tight three-set battle (6-7, 6-4, 6-3). 

In doubles, Senior Catherine Goldman and Freshman Alba Benedito made it to the quarterfinals, defeating Irina Iurea and Kayla Kennedy from Norfolk State (0-6, 6-1, 10-4). They lost to the No. 1 seed and finalists from North Carolina Central (6-1, 7-5). Senior Lucia Casas Blas and Sophomore Sia Mahajan also made it to the quarterfinals in doubles, barely losing to the eventual winners of the tournament, Sara Barbaric and Valentina San Miguel Soria from NCCU (3-6, 6-2, 10-7).
