Ohio State d. Youngstown State 4-0 1. Flora Johnson/Luciana Perry won 6-2 2. Hep Oluwadare/Teah Chavez unfinished 4-4
4. Hep Oluwadare unfinished 6-0 5-1 6. Flora Johnson won 6-1 6-2
This was such a mismatch - 3rd seed against a team outside the top 200 teams - that Ohio State pulled 2 of their 3 top singles players that moved Hep up to 4 and gave Flora a rare singles match. Flora was first to finish. I feel there's a decent player in Flora but she's in a catch 22 situation where she needs regular singles match play for her to iron out some of what is holding her back from getting regular match play. With all 7 of Ohio State's singles players above her returning next year I don't know how she does that.
