DAVIDSON, N.C. — Brites Moniz-Soares pushed her career-best win streak in singles play to five straight, but Davidson fell to visiting Western Michigan 5-2 on Friday afternoon at the Covington Tennis Courts in women's tennis.

Davidson fell to 3-8 overall, while Western Michigan reached the 10-win plateau and moved to 10-6. Head coach Betsy Kuhle of the Broncos is now one win away from 500 for her career.

The match started out with three tightly played doubles matches, but WMU swept all three spots to take a 1-0 lead. Catherine Wood and Elise Held played to a tie-breaker, falling 8-7, while Katharine Dicconson and Moniz-Soares saw their two-match win streak halted after an 8-6 defeat.

The 'Cats No. 1 doubles team, Nisha Crouser and Stephani Synn, played well too, but fell 8-4.

Moniz-Soares and Crouser scored both of Davidson's points in the match, capturing singles wins at No. 2 and 3. The sophomore duo won their eighth and fourth matches, respectively. Moniz-Soares rebounded from a 6-4 first-set defeat, to get 7-5 and 10-5 wins to run her record to 8-3.

Crouser rolled to a 6-2, 6-0 win over Rachel Denny, improving to 4-5 on the year.

Davidson will now play Boston, March 17, in Charleston, S.C., as part of a neutral site match.
