Sambrick also won in two straight sets as she swept her opponent 6-0 and 6-0. Theophile grinded out a tough win in three sets. She won her first set 6-2 before losing the second set 4-6, but she won the third set 7-6 (7-2). Hershey dropped her first set 5-7 before rallying to 7-5 and 7-6 (7-2) victories to win her match.
