Zuzanna Frankowska andĀ Mischka Sinclaire Goenadi fell to Liberty's Aranai Martinez and Daniella O'Neill in the quarterfinals, 2-6, 7-5Ā (10-7). Ā
"In the first set we were a step slow and made too many unforced errors," head coach Hilary Ritchie said. "I was proud of the way they battled back to earn the second set. Unfortunately, we missed a few balls at the net which swung the momentum in the tie breaker. Zuza and Mischka have had a terrific fall, and they have a lot to build on."Ā
