Northwestern's Audra Cohen, the third seed in the tournament, advanced to the round of 16 Tuesday after defeating Baylor's Carolin Walter in straight sets, 6-1, 7-5. Cohen will now face on the tournament's top 16 seeds in Georgia Tech's Kristi Miller on Wednesday. MORE>>>Cohen was also victorious Tuesday in doubles action with partner Cristelle Grier. The Wildcat tandem captured a 6-2, 6-2 win over South Florida's Gabriela Duch and Neyssa Etienne. MORE>>> Ironically, the Wildcats' next opponent will be Michigan's Michelle DaCosta and Kara Delicata, who advanced to second-round action by way of a 4-7, 7-6 (6), 6-4 victory over Tulane's Darya Ivanov and Maria Ivanov. MORE>>> Earlier this year, both doubles pairs gained a win over the other. Michigan's DaCosta and Delicata upset Cohen and Grier, 8-6, in the Big Ten Championship match back on May 1, but the Wildcat tandem did, however, put together an impressive comeback from a 7-2 deficit to defeat the Wolverine pair in the regular season, 9-7.
