RALEIGH, N.C. Methodist women's tennis remains undefeated in USA South Athletic Conference play with an 8-1 win over William Peace University on Saturday afternoon at Lions Park.
JUST THE FACTS
Final scores: Methodist def. William Peace, 8-1
Records: Methodist 11-5 (6-0 USA South), William Peace 1-7 (1-5)
Locations: Lions Park, Raleigh, N.C.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Monarchs started the afternoon by claiming all three double matches, one by default due to lack of numbers.
- This would also affected single flights as the Pacers also had to forgo No. 6 singles. Megan Kidd, Valeria Matute, and Hannah Higgins all won their individual matches in straight sets of 6-0. This was an excellent day for Matute as she swept her opponent in not only singles but also doubles with Veva Willocks.
- Toni Laney was victorious in No. 1 singles after beating Camryn Straughn 6-0, 6-1. William Peace's lone win came in No. 2 singles as Hayley McNair was able to fight off Jill Lawrence.
- McNair won a close first set 7-6 before Lawrence stormed back 6-1 in the next. The two were forced to head to a super tiebreaker where McNair was able to prevail 10-8.
UP NEXT
- Methodist is back in action on Wednesday when Meredith College visits the Gene Clayton Tennis Center for a USA South match at 3 p.m.
- William Peace plays again this Sunday at home against Sweet Briar College at 4 p.m.
