GREENVILLE, N.C.  — Davidson was unable to slow down a red-hot East Carolina women's tennis team as it fell 5-2 on the road Saturday afternoon at the River Birch Tennis Complex. The Pirates continued their record setting winning streak, pushing it to 18 in a row with the win.
Â
The Wildcats (9-8) forced three third sets, which were played as a super tie-breaker and won two of them, but the match had already been decided prior to the start of the super tie-breakers.
Â
"We came very close in many spots against a high-quality team," said head coach Susanne Depka. "We definitely made improvements today and will work hard to get one degree better for tomorrow's match vs. Richmond."
Â
Things started off on the day with the Pirates taking wins of 6-0 and 6-2 at No. 1 and 2 doubles.
Â
The two singles victories for the 'Cats came from Samantha Armas and Elizabeth Truluck at No. 4 and 5 positions. Armas played one of the three super tie-breakers and scored a 10-6 win to take the match at 6-4, 5-7, 1-0. The win was her 12th of the season and ninth at the No. 4 spot.
Â
Truluck picked up her team-leading 13th win in 17 matches by scoring a 10-2 decision in the super tie-breaker for a 3-6, 6-0, 1-0 decision. The freshman has won eight of her last 10 matches.
Â
The other super tie-breaker was played by senior Megan Scholvinck at No. 1, where she lost 10-3 in very close battle all match vs. the Pirates top singles player (5-7, 6-4, 0-1).
Â
Davidson, playing its third match of the week, wraps up the weekend with a 1 p.m. Sunday match vs. Richmond at home.
