Jain, once again the Crimson's only senior, also coasted to a straight-set victory at the No. 2 spot. Jain made short work of Mily Kannarkat, allowing her just a single point in each of the two 6-1 sets.
"I think I played fairly well," Jain said. "I hadn't played in the last four matches, but I think I'm ready for the next matches coming up."
Sophomore Fleur Broughton posted the most exciting match of the day, notching a drawn-out triumph over Iva Beli in three sets. Broughton tallied a 6-3 win in the first set, but dropped to Beli by the same score in the second. Broughton's 6-4 conquest in the final set secured her the win in the No. 3 seed.
The sophomore duo of Jennie Timoney and Sarah McGinty prevailed easily over Patricia Araujo and Camila Rosa in the fifth and sixth slots, respectively. Timoney beat Araujo in straight sets, posting a 6-0 shutout in the first, and 6-1 in the second. McGinty followed suit by notching a pair of 6-3 wins in her own straight set victory.
The only bright spot for the Lady Monarchs last Friday was Julia Sotiriu, who nabbed Old Dominion's only win of the match, defeating freshman Lara Naqushbandi 7-5 and 6-3 in two sets.
In doubles competition, the Lady Monarchs could fare no better, as the Crimson tallied all three victories in the dual matches.
No. 1 Bajin and junior Sanaz Ghazal started off doubles play with a 9-8 win over Old Dominion's top pair. Radeljevic and Beli came close to upsetting Bajin and Ghazal, but the Crimson pulled out an exciting 9-8 victory.
