PACIFIC PALISADES, CALIF. – Senior Emma Davis earned another win at the ITA All-American Championships on Friday and earned a spot in the Oracle ITA Fall National Championships to be held in Surprise, Ariz., Nov. 7-11.
Following a 6-2, 6-4 win on Thursday over No. 23 Veronica Miroshnichenk, 16th-ranked Davis advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Gabriela Knutson, the fifth-ranked player in the country and the three-seed in the main draw.
