DAVIDSON, N.C. – College of Charleston womens' tennis kept its perfect Southern Conference record in tact on Saturday with a 5-2 victory over Davidson at the Covington Tennis Courts.
CofC (12-8, 5-0 SoCon) swept the doubles matches to take an early 1-0 lead. Junior Kinsey Casey (Alpharetta, Ga./Northview) paired up with freshman Irene Viana (Paris, France/Lycee de Montgeron) at the top spot to defeat Wilcats' Virginia Berry and Teresa Wang 8-3. Seniors Laura Borza (Toronto, Ontario/Mary Ward Secondary) and Anna Lee Evans (Vilas, N.C./Watauga) won their third conference doubles match at the No. 2 spot with an 8-5 victory. Senior Holly Dowse (Tuncurry, Australia/Forster) and sophomore Caroline Newman (Greensboro, N.C./Page) teamed up for the first time this season for an 8-1 victory at the No. 3 spot.
Four Cougars earned singles victories in straight sets. Dowse picked up her seventh win as the No. 1 seed with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Berry. Newman competed in the second spot, earning a 6-3, 6-2 win over Wang to move to 14-5 on the year. Both Dowse and Newman remain undefeated in singles action against league opponents.
Borza and junior Keely Mulligan (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) also earned victories at the No. 5 and 6 spots, respectively. Viana, who competed at the No. 4 spot, forced her opponent to a third set after rebounding from a 6-4 loss in the first set to capture the second set 6-2. She eventually yielded a 10-7 decision to Alison Raugh in the third set.
The Wildcats dropped to 8-5 overall and 1-2 in the Southern Conference.
Charleston will lay its perfect SoCon record on the line again tomorrow with a noon match against Appalachian State in Boone, N.C.
