Junior Vitoria Okuyama and sophomore Mila Saric led the way as they picked up a singles and doubles win apiece to wrap up a perfect opening day of competition.
 
In doubles, Saric and senior Mila Saric tallied an 8-6 win over the Miami (Fla.) duo of Nada Dimovska and Lucia Marzal, 8-6, at the top spot. Okuyama and senior Charlotte Madson won the final four games to record an 8-5 win over the Liberty pair of Esther Lovato and Nasha Ghajar.
