Hoover earned Player of the Week honors, while Henry received Rookie of the Week laurels. 

Hoover earned four victories in the Gulls CCC Tournament Championship run going 2-0 at No. 2 doubles and 2-0 at No. 1 singles. In doubles play, she earned an 8-1 against Gordon's second pairing in the semifinal before earning an 8-2 result against Nichols in the Championship. Both of her singles matches were handled in straight sets and both clinched the match for the Gulls.
