MALIBU, Calif. - North Carolina junior All-America Hayley Carter reached the singles final of the 2015 Oracle/ITA Masters on Sunday, but was unable to compete due to an injury suffered Saturday night in a consolation bracket doubles match at Malibu Racquet Club.

Carter was scheduled to face long-time rival Danielle Collins of Virginia live on Tennis Channel at 3:30 p.m. ET, however, in a match with Tar Heel teammate Whitney Kay on Saturday, she suffered a wrist injury during the match.

Carter and Kay gutted out a victory in the consolation semifinals over Texas A&M - 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4).
