DAVIDSON, N.C.  —
  Junior Ava Todd won her 17th straight league match and the Davidson women's tennis team capped off another successful regular season with a 5-2 Atlantic 10 win over Richmond at home Saturday on the Davidson Tennis Courts.
 
The Wildcats upped their record to 14-5 overall and 6-2 in league play. Since joining the A-10 in 2014-15, they have gone 15-4 against league foes, while winning a total of 44 matches.
 
Todd moved to 17-0 in her three years in the league by rolling to a 6-0, 6-1 victory at No. 6 singles. It was one of five singles wins on the day for the 'Cats to help seal up the team win. The victory was Todd's 57th for her career overall.
 
Also scoring straight-set singles wins were Anna Catharine Feaster (6-2, 6-3), Megan Scholvinck (6-4, 6-1), Gabrielle Centenari (7-5, 6-1) and Alexandra Abele (6-2, 6-4).
 
Scholvinck moved to 6-1 in league matches and Abele's win was her team-leading 15th of the season. Centenari gave Davidson its sixth player with double-digit wins on the year, scoring her 10th victory and the 23rd of her career.
 
It was a battle to start the match in doubles action, with two of the matches going to a tie-breaker. Richmond took the top spot with a 7-4 win in the tie-breaker, but Anna Catharine Feaster and Ally Sexton pulled out a 7-5 win in their tie-breaker at No. 2. The duo moved to 12-6 overall and 6-2 in A-10 matches.
 
The Spiders took the team point though with a 6-4 victory at No. 3, sending Alexandra Abele and Ava Todd to just their fourth defeat this season.
 
Davidson will next wait for its seed in the upcoming Atlantic 10 Championship, April 25-30, in Orlando, Fla.
