DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson remained perfect on its home courts this season, while increasing its overall home win streak when it picked up a 5-2 victory over East Carolina Saturday morning in non-conference women's tennis action.
The Wildcats (5-1) ran their record to 4-0 at home this year, while pushing their streak dating back to last season to 12 in a row at home. The home win streak in the longest since 2007 when they had a 13-match streak.
Leading the way in doubles action was the duo of Ava Todd and Alexandra Abele as they won their sixth consecutive doubles match together. The duo blanked ECU's No. 3 team by the score of 6-0. Also blanking their Pirate opponent at No. 2 was the team of Anna Catharine Feaster and Ally Sexton, who grabbed their fourth win together on the season with a 6-0 shutout to seal up the doubles point.
Abele continued her strong singles play in her first year by tallying a 7-5, 6-1 win at No. 4, as Davidson captured wins in four of the six singles matches to secure the team victory. Abele is a team-best 5-1 on the season.
Playing No. 2 was Anna Catharine Feaster, who need a third set to put away from Lisa Hofbauer by the scores of 5-7, 7-5, 7-6.
Centenari and Armas rounded out the singles winners by cruising in straight-set victories at No. 3 and 6 slots, respectively. The sophomore Centenari won her third match of the season with a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Michelle Castro. Armas used a tie-breaker to win her first set before closing out the win with a 6-1 victory in the second set to move her record to 3-2 on the year.
