Vilcek opened the roadtrip by shutting out UCR’s Kamya Nair, 6-0, 6-0. She followed with a hard-fought win over San Diego State’s 116th-ranked Andjela Skrobonja, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 1-0 (8). Vilcek capped the week with a three-set win over University of San Diego’s 37th-ranked Solymar Colling 0-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4).
