DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson began its 2017 spring women's tennis season with a strong victory over visiting Wofford, 7-0, and kept their win streak in the series alive as well Sunday afternoon on the courts inside the Knobloch Tennis Center.
The Wildcats (1-0) won their season opener for the first time since 2011 and earned their 17th straight victory in the all-time series vs. Wofford. They ran their all-time record to 24-2 in the series.
The Wildcats opened the match by scoring doubles wins at No. 1 and 3. The top team of Megan Scholvinck and first-year Samantha Armas sealed the win by taking a 7-5 tie-breaker victory. At No. 3, the pair of Ava Todd and Alexandra Abele blanked the Terriers, 6-0.
All four players scored singles wins, with Scholvinck and Abele pulling out matches in three sets. Sophomore Scholvinck dropped her first set in a tie-breaker, 7-4, at No. 2, but regrouped and rolled 6-1 and 6-2 wins in the next two sets.
In her first collegiate match, Abele took a 6-3, 4-6, 6-0 decision at No. 4 singles.
Fellow classmate Armas gave up just two games in cruising to a 6-1, 6-1 decision at No. 6.
Todd also won in straight sets with a 6-2, 6-1 victory at No. 5, while junior Anna Catharine Feaster won her match at the top singles spot by the same score.
Rounding out the singles wins was Gabrielle Centenari, who netted a 7-2 tie-breaker victory in the first set and then took the match at No. 3 with a 6-3 decision in the next set.
