WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Davidson women's tennis team wrapped up their first Fall event this weekend by participating in the Wake Forest Invitational, which ran from Friday to Sunday.

A total of 10 Wildcats took part in the invitational, playing singles and doubles against a strong field of competition.

Eight of the players played in the singles brackets. Anna Catharine Feaster, who was an Atlantic 10 All-First Team pick last year, opened her Fall season by winning her first match 6-3, 6-1 in the A Singles bracket. She then lost 6-4, 6-1 to Lyn Yee Choo of East Tennessee State, before falling in a three-set match to her Connecticut opponent, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.

A 19-game winner from a season ago, Ava Todd played in the B Singles bracket. The sophomore dropped her first match, but came back to score a 6-4, 7-5 win on the consolation side over her N.C. State opponent. Her weekend ended with a 6-1, 6-3 decision to Emma Alderman of UConn.

Elaina Cummer started her final Fall season by dropping a 6-3, 6-2 decision in her first match in the C Singles bracket. But, like Todd, Cummer came back to net a 7-6(3), 6-2 victory in her first consolation match against Appalachian State. The senior's weekend ended with a hard-fought 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 defeat to host Wake Forest.

In the E Singles bracket, freshman Megan Scholvinck opened her collegiate career with a 6-0, 6-0 setback in the first round and then came up short in a three-setter, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4, in her first consolation match against Elon. Also in the bracket was fellow freshman Gabrielle Centenari, who opened up her first Fall event with a strong 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(3) victory in the first round before falling in another three-setter, 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 to her Old Dominion opponent.

A trio of Wildcats participated in the G Singles bracket to round out the singles action. Ally Sexton, Courtney McCray and Cassidy Shell each picked up a win over the weekend. Sexton started with a 6-3, 7-6(4) win in her first round match, but then lost to Katya Salas of Richmond in the second round, 6-3, 7-5.

McCray fell 6-2, 6-1 in her first match, but cruised in her first consolation match with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over UNC Wilmington's Thai Thompson. She then fell in a tough three-set match, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, to her ASU opponent. Shell ended the weekend with a nice 6-1, 6-3 victory over her ASU opponent.

Five doubles teams played in the four doubles brackets. Feaster and Cummer teamed up at the top doubles bracket to earn 6-4 and 6-2 wins over teams from Elon and Connecticut.

Sexton and Centenari also earned a pair of wins. They came back after falling 6-2 in their first match to score 6-1 and 6-3 decisions over Charlotte and Winthrop.

Jenna Brunner and Shell along with Scholvinck and Todd played in the C doubles bracket. Brunner and Shell earned a win on the weekend with a 6-3 victory over ASU, while the Wildcats' second doubles pair of Scholvinck and Todd ran off 6-3 and 6-4 wins over Liberty and UNCW.

The 'Cats final team of Sarah Stein and McCray played in the D doubles bracket. They won 6-4 over a pair from ECU on Friday, but fell to Elon's team in the next round.

The Wildcats next Fall event will take place down the road as they travel to cross-county rival Charlotte to participate in the 49ers Invitational.
