EVANSTON, Ill.-- After qualifying for the main draw without having to play in any preliminary rounds, Northwestern's top-ranked player, Georgia Rose (Mettawa, Ill./North Shore County Day) fell in the first round yesterday of the All-American Main Draw to Amanda McDowell of Georgia Tech 3-6, 0-6 in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Joining Rose in the tournament were fellow Wildcats Sam Murray (Altrincham England/Altrincham Grammar) and Lauren Lui (Houston, Texas/Kinkaid), who are currently playing in the quarterfinals of the doubles portion of the draw. Friday, the pair takes on Kristi Miller and Whitney McCray of Georgia Tech following an 8-5 victory over their first opponent, Kristina Nedeltcheva and Elena Gantcheva of UNLV.
