SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Freshman Jenna Brunner won her fifth match in a row and Davidson started its final go-around in Southern Conference play with a 5-2 road win at Wofford Sunday afternoon in women's tennis.

The Wildcats, playing their final season in the SoCon before moving to the Atlantic 10 next year, improved to 6-9 overall (1-0 SoCon). The SoCon-opening win snapped a three-match skid in league openers for the 'Cats.

The Terriers fell to 5-5 overall and 1-1 in SoCon action.

For the fifth time this year Davidson picked up the first team point by taking two of the three doubles matches. The No. 1 team of Elania Cummer and Brites Moniz-Soares registered their team-leading seventh win with an 8-4 victory, and then the team of Sarah Stein and Tamara Hill at No. 3 won their first together by also picking up an 8-4 decision.

The winning continued on into singles action, with the 'Cats netting victories at No. 1, 4, 5 and 6. Brunner led the way with a three-set win at No. 5, the first of her young career. The freshman won a 6-0 first-set decision, but fell 6-4 in the next one, before sealing up the match win with a 6-3 score.

Brunner is 9-4 on the season, with an 8-3 mark at No. 5.

Moniz-Soares won her eighth match and 38th of her career with a solid 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 1. The freshman Stein won a thriller, going the distance in a three-setter. She won her first set, 7-5, but came up short in a 6-4 second-set decision to force a third set. Stein prevailed, taking a 6-3 decision to move her singles record to 5-9.

Hill made it a perfect day for herself with a well-played two-set win at No. 6, earning wins of 6-4 and 7-5 to net her second victory of the season.

The Wildcats return home for the first time since Feb. 21 when they play host to Chattanooga in another SoCon matchup, March 12, at 3 p.m.
