WILMINGTON, N.C. - The Davidson women's tennis team concluded its fall portion of the 2023 schedule with a strong showing at the UNC Wilmington Dual Invitational hosted by UNC Wilmington over the weekend.
"We had a lot of matches over the last three days and many of them were very competitive" said head coach Susanne Depka. "The team each day improved with their processes and had much success the last day. I was very proud of everyone this tournament. They used their tools well to help them with their nerves and stay calm under pressure. The weekend was extremely enjoyable to see their progress and was a ton of fun coaching them! It was a great conclusion to the fall season and transition into the spring."
While at the invitational, the Wildcats competed against Appalachian State, Longwood and the host UNC Wilmington.
The 'Cats finished with four players having won over half of their matches over the weekend, led by Alex Rodehorst who was undefeated over three matches and pulled out tiebreakers. Rodehorst picked up her first win of the tournament via 3-6, 6-0, 10-6 victory over App State Friday, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 10-5 win against Longwood Saturday and 2-6, 6-1, 10-5 triumph over UNCW Sunday.
Emma Heiderscheit found success from the No. 1 spot going 2-1 for the weekend with wins over Longwood (6-1, 6-3) and UNCW (6-2, 6-3).
Bryson Langford also sported an impressive showing from the No. 3 slot as she was 2-1 as well. Langford pulled out tiebreakers in both of her wins as she earned a 3-6, 6-3, 10-5 win over App State and 5-7, 6-2, 10-4 victory over UNCW.
In doubles competition, Langford, Savanna Kollock and Ines Roti were all members of pairs that earned two wins. Against UNCW, Kollock and Olivia Hooper defeated a duo 6-1, Langford and Rodehorst picked up a 6-2 win and Roti and Charlotte Calderwood took a 6-0 win.
