ATHENS, Ga. – UF's Brooke Austin and Anna Danilina were equally impressive in their respective singles wins on Saturday and advanced to the quarterfinals of the ITA Southeast Regional Championships Presented by Oracle.

Austin and Danilina began Saturday's action on the doubles court, where Austin paired with Katie Kubicz and Danilina with Peggy Porter. Both Gator tandems won their round of 16 matches, however, fell in the quarterfinal round.

Shortly after the two rounds of doubles action, Austin returned to the court where she topped UCF's Monica Matias, 6-0, 6-2, and advanced to play Miami's top-seeded and No. 11-ranked Estela Perez-Somarriba on Sunday at 10 a.m.

Danilina tagged Georgia Tech's ninth-seeded and No. 103-ranked Kenya Jones, 6-3, 6-3, and set up a quarterfinal match against Georgia's eighth-seeded and No. 105-ranked Marta Gonzalez, with first serve also scheduled for 10 a.m.

Two rounds of singles matches are slated for Sunday's action that begins at 10 a.m.

Quoting UF Associate Head Coach Dave Balogh:
"I am happy to see both Anna and Brooke reach the quarterfinals, both are playing well.

"Tomorrow is a big day for the Gators. We've got a great opportunity. I'm really looking forward to seeing how we handle the challenge."
