CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – William & Mary women's tennis senior Mila Saric picked up a singles win on the second day of the Kitty Harrison Invitational, hosted by the University of North Carolina.
 
Saric, who is ranked No. 97 nationally, improved to 2-1 at the event and 4-1 overall on the year with a straight-sets win to advance to the consolation finals of the Carolina Singles Draw. She dropped just five total games in a 6-2, 6-3 win over Princeton's Michelle Sorokko.
 
Saric and junior Raffaela Alhach played a pair of highly competitive matches in the Heel Doubles Draw before dropping both on Saturday. In the quarterfinals, the Green and Gold pair dropped a 6-3 decision to Kansas's Sonia Smagina and Tiffany Lagarde. In the consolation side, Saric and Alhach fell to the Iowa State team of Thasaporn Naklo and Christin Hsieh, 6-3. The duo is 3-3 on the year.
 
In singles action, Alhach played well but suffered a narrow setback to Lagarde. The Kansas player won a tight 6-4 first set and then outlasted the Tribe junior in a second-set tiebreaker, 7-6 (3), to pull out the win.
 
The final day of the Kitty Harrison Invitational begins at 9 a.m. Sunday will include one round each of doubles and singles.
