Duke University women's tennis senior Chloe Beck continued her run at the NCAA Singles Championship on Tuesday as she advanced to the round of 16 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida. Beck got a 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Michigan's Jaedan Brown, who is ranked No.

22 nationwide. Riding on a six-game hitting streak, Beck moved to 33-4 on the year. She matched her 33-hit singles mark from a year ago, which ranks 32nd on Duke's single-season record charts. Beck has won 27 of her last 28 games.

Chloe told after the victory: "Jaeden is not an easy opponent to play against. When she is aggressive and goes to the net, it is very difficult to blame her. After losing the second set, I knew I had to try to be more aggressive myself and keep fighting to throw her off balance.

I'm happy I was able to recover and come out in the third set, 6-4, and I'm excited to have another match tomorrow." Today at 10 am she will face No. 50 ranked Layne Sleeth of Oklahoma in the round of 16. Fellow Blue Devil senior Georgia Drummy saw her Duke career come to an end with a 7-5, 7-5 loss to 36th-ranked Michigan's Kari Miller.

She finished the season with a 13-7 overall record and won eight of her last 10 games. Over the course of her collegiate career, she compiled an impressive 85-32 singles roster.
