BLACKSBURG, Va.— Davidson played its third nationally ranked opponent of the season as it hit the road, falling to No. 61 Virginia Tech 7-0 on Saturday morning at the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center in women's tennis action.
Davidson (2-4) opened the year against ranked opponents N.C. State and Winthrop, also on the road.
The Wildcats nearly grabbed the doubles point to start the match against the Hokies (5-1), playing very well. The No. 1 team of Stephani Synn and Nisha Crouser fell just 8-7, but Katharine Dicconson and Brites Moniz-Soares came up just short at No. 2 by the score of 8-6.
Va. Tech finished off the team point with an 8-4 win at No. 3 as Catherine Wood and Frizzi Bschorer were defeated.
Moniz-Soares was the lone Wildcat to come close to forcing a third set as the Hokies sweep all six singles matches in straight sets to seal up the 7-0 team win. The sophomore, who saw her three-match singles win streak come to an end, fell 6-4 in the first set to Martinez-Macos at No. 2, but came back to force a second-set tiebreaker, which she eventually fell, 7-2, for the 7-6 setback.
Bschorer took five games against her Tech opponent, falling at No. 6 to Megan Conley, 6-2, 6-3. The sophomore had her two-match singles win streak halted in the process.
Davidson starts a five-match homestand with a match against USC-Upstate and Campbell, Feb. 17-18.
