DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Davidson women's tennis team made it a historic day for new head coach Sara Anundsen, netting a 6-1 victory over Arkansas State to give her the first career win of her coaching career Saturday morning in the Knobloch Tennis Center.
The Wildcats evened their record to 1-1, earning the doubles point and then taking five of the six singles matches. The Wolves fell to 0-3 on the young season.
