MIDLAND, Texas – Megan Bertrands won the Flight 2 back draw as UAB completed day two of the Racquet Club Collegiate Invitational on Saturday.
"We had a solid day today, probably the best showing we've had since we've been coming to this tournament," UAB head coach Mark Tjia said. "Megan won several close matches to win her back draw, and hopefully Alex can do the same tomorrow in her back draw. With that being said, we have a lot to work on when we get back to Birmingham."
