Monarch Women Roll in Singles

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.  A sweep of the singles matches Wednesday led Methodist past visiting Alfred (N.Y.) University, 7-2, in non-conference women's tennis action at the Clayton Tennis Center.

The Saxons brought a small squad, only five players, but they were efficient in doubles play, taking both of the contested matches before surrendering the singles flights.

JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Methodist def. Alfred, 7-2
Records: Methodist 10-5, Alfred 2-12
Location: Gene Clayton Tennis Center; Fayetteville, N.C.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Methodist's lone doubles point came in a default victory at No. 3, leaving the singles players with work to do.
  • Already starting back even, though -- with the Saxons forfeiture at 6-singles -- the Monarchs rallied strongly in the remaining singles flights, winning all five in straight sets.
  • Luciana Forma set the tone with a 6-0, 6-0 win at 5-singles, followed by another Methodist shutout at No 4 by Jillian Garrett.
  • Valeria Matute added the match-clinching point at No. 3, downing Kailey Reyes, 6-1, 6-0.
  • With the match already decided, Abby Caddick and Jill Lawrence fought on and finished the singles sweep at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Caddick won out 6-2, 6-0 for the penultimate point of the afternoon, and Lawrence -- named the USA Athletic Conference women's tennis athlete of the week on Monday -- added the final tally with her 6-0, 6-2 triumph.

UP NEXT
The Monarchs will rest up over the weekend before heading to the University of Mount Olive on Tuesday afternoon for a non-conference match against the Division II Trojans.
