Meghna Arun Kumar came up short against Coumba Ben Inagadou and Yu Yun Kathy Tsai 6-1.
"We fought every single day this weekend, and finishing strong in singles along with a solid record in doubles shows that our hard work is paying off," said Cvanciger. "Also, the fact that I can rely on every single person on this team makes it really special and gives you that extra boost to fight for them until the end and give it back to them as well. We're looking forward for the spring - and actually I would say that we're not just ready, but we're hungry for it!"

Cvanciger defeated Diana De Simone 6-3, 7-5 on court two, McAslin won 7-6 (5), 6-3 over Paulina Franco Martinessi on court four, and Millard downed Daria Malaescu 7-6 (4), 6-4 on court six for straight sets wins.
