Cako advances to Sweet 16 in NCAA Championships

Senior Jacqueline Cako earned another win in the 2013 NCAA DI Women's Tennis Singles Championship on Thursday morning, clinching herself a spot in the third round of play and securing her third consecutive All-American honor. Cako defeated Kata Szekely of Tennessee in three sets, 6-0, 4-6, 6-1 and will play against Breaunna Addison of the University of Texas on Friday at a time yet to be determined.

"I feel great and I'm hitting the ball well so that's all I can really ask for," Jacqueline Cako said. "Now I'm just excited for doubles later today."
