There, Brogan would face off against Joulia Likhanskaia of Bowdoin. With Brogan gaining a break to lead 5-4 in the first set, Likhanskaia won the next three points to take the first set, 7-5, and then carried that momentum into the second, where she won, 6-2.

Brogan gains All-America honors for advancing to the round of 16.

In doubles, Brogan had to come back for her third match of the day, as she and Shelby Harris took on Nithya Kanagasegar and Sara Zargham of Case Western. UMW jumped out to a big 602 win in set one, before outlasting Case in the second in a tiebreaker, 7-6.
