The tournament experienced weather delays which forced the singles qualifying consolation draw to not be completed.

With the loss she moved into the consolation bracket where she defeated 79th-ranked Paola Exposito Diaz-Delgado of VCU, 7-6(6), 7-6(4). She was scheduled to take on Patricija Spaka from Arizona State before it was cancelled due to weather.
