Brinson, ranked 72nd in the nation, dropped the first set 6-2 but battled back to take the final two sets of the match 6-3, 6-2 over Nuria Ormeno Ruiz of Colorado. She will now move on to face Auburn’s Andrea Dikosavljevic.
[su_spacer size=”40″] “Caroline was put in a similar position to yesterday,” said Associate Head Coach Drake Bernstein. “She was able to turn the tables today.”
