RALEIGH, N.C. — The Davidson women's tennis team got their 2012 Spring season underway, but it was not the way they hoped to open play as they fell 5-0 in a pair of matches to No. 34 North Carolina State and No. 67 Winthrop on Saturday afternoon at the J.W. Isnerhour Tennis Facility.

Both matches were played in a 4-1 format, with four singles matches contested and one set of doubles.

In its first match of the season for Davidson (0-2) vs. No. 34 North Carolina State (1-0), the Wolfpack sweep all four singles spots singles matches in straight sets.

Sophomore Brite Moniz-Soares (Angra Do Heroismo, Portugal) gave No. 40 Joelle Kissell at No. 1 singles a run, scoring three games each, but fell 6-3, 6-3. Katharine Dicconson (Pacific Grove, Calif) played her first career match at No. 2 singles, but came up short 6-1, 6-1.

In the lone doubles match, Catherine Wood (Greensboro, N.C.) and Blake Nickles (Anderson, S.C.) fell 8-2. They also lost by the same score vs. Winthrop.

The second match was much the same as Winthrop (1-0) was able to take all four singles matches in straight sets. Frizzi Bschorer (Barnin, Germany) came close to forcing a third set, when she scored wins in four games in set two, but fell in the end, 6-0, 6-4.

Davidson has dropped its last four matches now against Winthrop, but still own a 16-7 all-time record vs. the Eagles. The Wildcats were playing the Wolfpack for the first time since 2008.
