Will, whose 26-match winning streak ended in Florida’s 4-3 loss to Stanford in the team championship match, improved to 48-4 and was scheduled to play Georgia’s Chelsey Gullickson, ranked No. 12, in the Round of 16 Friday.
Willl and Boonstra return to the courts following Will’s single match to play Stetson’s Carolina de los Santos and Valentina Galbarini. Boonstra is 74-21 in doubles matches during her career, including a 23-3 mark when paired with Will, who is 36-6 on the doubles court.
