DAVIDSON, N.C. — Playing its final regular season match, Davidson dropped a 5-2 decision Saturday morning to George Washington on Senior Day in women's tennis at the Davidson Tennis Courts.
Â
The Wildcats concluded the regular season with a 12-10 overall mark and a 5-4 record in A-10 matches. It was just the second setback for them at home, as they finished 8-2. GW ran its record to 10-8 with a 5-2 league mark.
Â
Prior to the match, seniors Megan Scholvinck and Gabrielle Centenari were honored as they played their final home match of their careers.
Â
It was a close battle to start in doubles, with Centenari and Nicole Krykanov cruising to a 6-1 win at No. 3. The victory ran their record to 10-4 on the season. But, the Colonials took the other two positions in very tightly-played matches, winning a 7-5 tie-breaker at No. 1 and then earning a 7-5 decision at No. 2 to grab the first team point.
Â
Singles play had two matches go three sets, with both teams splitting those, but ultimately, GW won four of the six spots to claim the win.
Â
Centenari made it a successful day when she scored a 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 win at No. 3 for one of the Wildcats' points.
Â
Fellow senior Scholvinck played the other three-setter, and much like her doubles match which went down to a tie-breaker, Scholvinck fell just short in a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 decision at No. 1.
Â
Earning the other team point for the 'Cats was Alyssa Hahn at No. 6, nailing down a 6-4, 6-1 win for her fifth of the season.
Â
Elizabeth Truluck went to a super tie-breaker in her match before falling 10-8 and lost the match 6-2, 5-7, 1-0 at No. 5. It dropped the freshman's record to 15-6 overall and 5-3 in A-10 matches.
Â
Davidson next awaits the A-10 Women's Tennis Championships, which takes place in Orlando, Fla., starting April 24.
