DAVIDSON, N.C. — Senior Elaina Cummer sealed up Davidson's seventh win in a row by clinching the winning team point as the Wildcats took a 4-3 decision at home vs. Elon Saturday afternoon on the Davidson Tennis Courts.
Prior to the match, Davidson honored some of its former greats who helped get women's tennis program started. Attending the weekend matches were Carol Goldsborough Jarrett '75, Sue McAvoy '77, Mary Miller Hollins '74, Ruth Murphy Parker '77, Becca Stimson '77 and Dea Booth Verlin '76.
The Wildcats ran their record to 10-2 on the year and snapped a five-match skid against the Phoenix (5-9), moving to 13-5 in the series since 1992. The seven-match win streak is the 'Cats longest since rattling off eight straight during the 2007 season.
Cummer won her third straight and picked up her ninth overall singles win with a big three-set victory. She took the first set 7-5, but fell 6-4 in the next set to force a third set. She sealed up the win with a 6-3 triumph.
Also scoring singles wins was Anna Catharine Feaster and Jenna Brunner at No. 1 and 6 positions. Feaster halted her personal three-match losing streak by scoring a 6-3, 6-3 win at the top spot. Brunner remained perfect, winning her third straight with a 6-4, 6-4 victory to move to 3-0 on the season.
Davidson took the doubles point for an early 1-0 lead. The duo of Ally Sexton and Anna Catharine Feaster moved up to the No. 1 position and continued their hot play of late. They won their seventh consecutive match with a 6-3 victory, running their record to 8-1. The duo is 25-6 over the last two years in doubles.
Cummer and Gabrielle Centenari won their first match together this year, taking a 7-5 decision at No. 2.
The trio of Centenari, Megan Scholvinck and Ava Todd all saw their personal singles win streaks come to an end. Centenari had her season-high five-match streak stopped with a tough three-set defeat. The freshman split her first two sets by the scores of 6-4 and then dropped a tough 10-8 third-set tie-breaker.
Scholvinck dropped a 6-1, 6-1 match at No. 4, halting her three-match win streak, while Todd lost for the first time in six matches with a 6-1, 6-0 setback at No. 2. It was just her third defeat of the season in 12 matches.
Davidson returns to league play, traveling to Philadelphia, Pa., to face Atlantic 10 foes Duquesne and Saint Joseph's, March 19-20.
