She then defeated Le Moyne's Fiona Pepper, 6-0 and 6-2, in the round of 16 before defeating Queens' Caroline Fawzy, 6-3, 7-6 (3), to reach the semifinals. In the semifinal round, Le Moyne's Isabella Barona was no match for Ramos Moreno, 6-4 and 6-4, but then the freshman finally fell to Southern New Hampshire's Natalie Kallmunzerova, 6-4 and 6-3, to finish second overall.

She also teamed up with Larize Nel in the doubles draw and won a first round match, defeating a duo from Queens, 8-1, to advance to the Round of 16 as well.
