Match Results

DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Charlotte 49ers took three of the six singles matches on its way to a 4-0 short-match win over cross-county rival Davidson on a rainy Wednesday afternoon in women's tennis action in the Knobloch Indoor Tennis Center.

It was the Wildcats (4-14) eighth straight defeat as they closed out their four-match homestand. Davidson and Charlotte were meeting for the 25th time, with the 49ers (9-11) winning their ninth match in the all-time series. The two schools have now altered wins in the last four years.

The No. 2 doubles of Romina Clemente (Canton, Ohio) and Katharine Dicconson (Pacific Grove, Calif.) were the lone 'Cats to score a win on the afternoon. The duo improved to 2-1 as a team, earning an 8-5 win over Tiffany Vanhpraseuth and Emmanuelle Briant.

Charlotte though captured wins at the No. 1 and 3 doubles spots for an early 1-0 lead. The 49ers then scored wins at the top-three singles positions for the win as the other three singles matches went unfinished.

Brites Moniz-Soares (Angra Do Heroismo, Portugal) nearly forced a third set in her match when she played to a tie-breaker in the second set vs. Andrea Rivera at No. 2 singles. She fell in the tie-breaker allowing the 49ers to clinch the match.

Davidson starts a four-match road swing with a SoCon match at UNCG on Apr. 5 at 3:30 p.m.
