DAVIDSON, N.C. — Capping off a three-match homestand to start the season, Davidson cruised to a 7-0 win over visiting Gardner-Webb Wednesday on the tennis courts inside the Knobloch Tennis Center.
Â
The Wildcats went 2-1 on its homestand, getting wins against Big South foes Winthrop and the Runnin Bulldogs.
Â
"Our guys fought through a tough doubles point," said head coach Drew Barrett. "They showed a lot of composure and carried that over to singles. We took another good step today."
Â
For the second time this year Davidson started off by winning the doubles point. It took a 6-2 decision at No. 2 by the team of Shamael Chaudhry and Jack Riazzi, who moved to 2-1 on the year. Closing out the point was the top team of J.B. Gough and Axel Fries with their second win of the year behind a 6-4 decision.
Â
Three of the four Wildcats went on to score wins in singles action to help seal up the team victory. Chaudhry tallied a nice 6-3, 6-2 triumph at No. 1, while J.B. Gough and Axel Fries captured wins of 6-1, 6-4 and 6-4, 7-5 at No. 4 and 5 positions, respectively.
Â
Junior David Hager remained perfect at 3-0 on the season after he won a super tie-breaker, 15-13. He split with his Gardner-Webb opponent in the first two sets, 4-6, 6-4, at No. 2.
Â
Artem Khrapko and Jordan Hart rounded out the winners on the day. At No. 3, Khrapko cruised to a 6-1, 6-2 decision, while Hart won a solid 6-2, 6-4 match at No. 6.
Â
Davidson plays its first road match as well as opens Atlantic 10 play this weekend when it plays at Fordham Saturday.
