The Gauchos’ strong performance on their second day of the ITA Southwest Regional Championship was led by sophomore Amelia Honer. At the start of the day, Honer and Marta Gonzalez-Ballbe picked up a doubles win to advance to the sweet 16. Honer went on to win two singles matches later in the day, with a particularly fierce performance in the second match defeating the No. 1 player in the country, Eryn Cayetano of USC.

Honer is the first Gaucho in history to top the No. 1 player in the country and will now move on to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
