Slattery's second match was against #6 seed Kyle McPhillips (UCLA) in which she fell 6-2 and 6-2 against McPhillips, who clinched UCLA's team 2014 NCAA Championship match versus the University of North Carolina.

"Despite these tough matches, Maureen certainly showed that she deserves to be on the national stage with the best players in the country. This was an incredible experience and test for her, and will absolutely help her prepare for a successful run at Regionals," head coach Christian Thompson commented.
