DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson women's tennis team remained a perfect 3-0 on the season when they picked up a pair of 7-0 wins over visiting Wingate and North Carolina A&T on Saturday at the Knobloch Indoor Tennis Center.

Alison Rauh and Samantha Galainena pushed their records to 3-0 with a pair of singles wins, while Stephani Synn and Teresa Wang each tallied their second singles wins of the season.

Galainena swept through her two singles matches against the Bulldogs (1-2) and Aggies (0-1), earning two 6-0, 6-0 triumphs at No. 4 and 5 positions, respectively. Rauh dropped just two games in her first match vs. Wingate, taking home a 6-0, 6-2 win and then closed out the afternoon with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over A&T's Jaymee Jones at No. 2.

Synn and Wang, in their only matches of the day, scored a 6-1, 6-0 triumph at No. 6 and a 6-0, 6-1 triumph at No. 4 vs. Wingate.
