RICHMOND, Va. — Freshman Megan Scholvinck clinched the winning team point and Davidson won its season-best fifth straight match by pulling out a close 4-3 decision on the road against Atlantic 10-foe Richmond Tuesday afternoon.

The Wildcats matched last year's season-high five-match win streak, improving to 8-2 overall. It was just their second win in 10 matches since 1988 against Richmond.

The 'Cats also remained perfect in A-10 action at 3-0, the first time since 2008 while in the Southern Conference the 'Cats have opened league play perfect through three matches.

Tied at 3-3 after the Spiders (4-4, 0-2 A-10) knotted it, Scholvinck won her first set 7-5, but dropped a 6-4 decision in the second set to force the final set. She raced out to a 3-0 lead and did not let up, sealing up the match win with a 6-3 victory, her fifth of the season.

Anna Catharine Feaster and Ally Sexton won their fifth doubles match in a row, picking up a 7-5 tie-breaker win at No. 2 doubles, but it was the only win Davidson got as Richmond took an early 1-0 lead with wins at the other two spots.

Sophomore Ava Todd, fresh off winning the league's player of the week earlier in the day, won her fifth straight singles match to improve to a team-best 8-2 with a solid 7-5, 6-3 decision at No. 2. Last year saw her rattle off a 16-match win streak.

Elaina Cummer and Gabrielle Centenari earned the other two team points for the 'Cats. Cummer nailed down a 6-1, 6-3 victory at No. 4, running her record to 7-3. The freshman Centenari keep her hot streak going, with a hard-fought 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) triumph at No. 3 to pick up her sixth win of the year and fourth consecutive win.

Davidson takes a 10-day break, returning home to host Campbell and Elon, March 11-12.
