MADISON, Wisconsin - Third seed North Carolina earned a 4-1 victory over sixth seed Texas Tech on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the 2018 ITA National Women's Team Indoor Championship.

The doubles point narrowly went to the Tar Heels for the early 1-0 advantage after all three courts finished with the same 6-4 outcome.

In singles, No. 78 Graham improved to 8-0 in dual matches with a scorchingly quick 6-0, 6-1, victory on court five over Sarah Dvorak.
On court one, No. 13 Gabriela Talaba took down No. 6 Sanford, 6-3, 6-4, to get Texas Tech on the board.
