Emory University sophomore Michelle Satterfield won a pair of matches on Thursday to reach the quarterfinals of the singles draw at the 2015 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championships in Mason, Ohio.

Satterfield, unseeded in the singles draw, began her day with a 6-2, 6-2 win in the round of 32 over Caroline Ward of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges, the sixth-seeded player.  She followed that with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Linda Shin of Williams College in the round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals.
