Carlon came from behind in the first set, then cruised in the second set for a 7-6 (1-0), 6-0 win at No. 1 singles. Freshman Sabrina Longson dropped the first set at No. 3 singles, but she rallied for a 2-6, 6-4, 10-8 win, while sophomore Maria Kana Goldsmith clinched the match with a 6-3, 4-6, 10-8 win at No. 6 singles to clinch a 4-0 singles record in Colorado.
