DAVIDSON, N.C. — Playing its second-to-last match of the regular season, the Davidson women's tennis team nearly knocked off its cross-county rival Charlotte as the 'Cats went down to the last point before falling 4-3 Friday afternoon at the Covington Tennis Courts.
Davidson dropped to 9-10 on the season and saw its all-time record fall to 16-11 vs. the 49ers, who have won the past three straight meetings. Charlotte snapped its own two-match losing streak to improve to 10-6 overall.
The Wildcats dropped the doubles point for the first time in four matches, falling 8-1 and 8-3 at No. 1 and 3 positions, respectively. They fell to 27-27 as a team in doubles action.
Down 1-0, Davidson battled back in singles play, taking three of the six matches to a third set, but were only able to win one of the three-setters. Frizzi Bschorer picked up her fifth win of the season when she came back from dropping the first set, 7-5, to score 6-3 and 6-1 victories in the next two for the three-set win.
Stephani Synn saw her bid to win her three-set match come up empty as she was unable to hold onto a 5-1 lead in the third set vs. Lisa Grosselius at No. 3. She then had a 5-4 advantage and was two match points away from the win, but was forced into a tie-breaker where she eventually was defeated. The senior had split the first two sets, 7-5, 5-7.
Davidson's final three-setter went down to a tie-breaker as well, only to see Elaina Cummer fall 7-4 in the tie-breaker for the 7-6 defeat at No. 2 singles. The freshman won a tie-breaker in the first set, but lost 6-1 in the second set to force the final set.
Brites Moniz-Soares and Nisha Crouser gave the Wildcats their two other points with strong straight-set victories at No. 1 and 4 singles. Moniz Soares rattled off a 6-1, 6-0 victory, while Crouser won her team-best 12th match on a 6-3, 6-3 two-setter over Tyler Baker. The junior is 12-6 on the season, with eight of the wins coming at No. 4 singles.
Davidson finishes out the regular season with a Senior Day match against rival Furman tomorrow, April 13 at 1 p.m.
