DAVIDSON, N.C. - The Davidson women's tennis team improved its winning streak to three straight contests Saturday when it defeated non-conference opponent Radford 6-1 on its home court.

We started off strong winning two of the doubles matches," said head coach Susanne Depka. "We did a lot well in the doubles including working on coming forward and hitting holes. Emma and Livy had a tough battle at No. 2, taking their match to a tiebreaker. Singles was great across the board today with everyone doing a great job using their tools to help them stay present and focusing on the things they can control and working towards getting one degree better, which helped them become more successful. I hope the team can continue with this mindset and improvement into tomorrow's match."

Saturday's win improves the 'Cats overall record to 8-4 while in home matches alone, the Wildcats have found great success and are currently 6-2.

The undefeated doubles pairing of Kavya Patel and Daniela Porges continued with their winning ways on court one, earning a 6-2 triumph. Sophomore and Rookie combination Savanna Kollock and Bryson Langford battled in the No. 3 spot for the Wildcats, taking a 7-5 win and the team point.

Emma Heiderscheit and Olivia Hooper put up a tremendous fight to try and sweep the doubles action on court two, but came up just short with a 7-5 loss after falling in the tiebreaker 7-4.

Davidson continued to roll through singles action with two-set victories on courts two through six by way of wins from Kollock (6-0, 6-3), Porges (6-1, 6-4), Patel (7-5, 6-1), Langford (6-2, 6-1) and Ines Roti (6-2, 6-3) respectively. Heiderscheit in the No. 1 spot fought for the singles sweep, getting out to a 6-0 win in the first set before being defeated in the final two (2-6, 0-6).

Davidson will continue the weekend with another non-conference match against Lees-McRae 1 p.m. Sunday on the Davidson Tennis Courts.
