After dropping the doubles point to start the match, the 'Cats came back to take home wins at No. 1-3 and No. 6 to seal up their 10th win of the season.

The lone doubles team to win for Davidson in the three matches was the senior duo of Virginia Berry (Spartanburg, S.C.) and Teresa Wang (Charlotte, N.C.) as they took home an 8-1 triumph at No. 1. They are a team-best 10-5 on the season and have rattled off wins in three of their last three matches. They also rank third in the league with their 10 wins.
