On Saturday, she breezed past Cynthia Whitman of Connecticut College 3-0, but dropped her contest with Dodie Press of Bowdoin. Brooks bounced back on Sunday with a pair of victories, dispatching Bettina Scott of George Washington 3-1, and fought through a long five-set match against Wellesley’s Erin Hurson for a 3-2 (10-9, 9-4, 8-9, 4-9, 9-4) win.
