DAVIDSON, N.C. - The Samford University women's tennis team tallied its second-straight road win Friday as the Bulldogs posted a decisive 6-1 triumph against the Davidson Wildcats in a key Southern Conference contest held at the Covington Tennis Courts.
With the victory, Samford (12-5, 4-4 SoCon) improved to 3-2 on the road this season and earned its second-consecutive win away from home. On March 25, the Bulldogs started their road winning streak by rolling to a convincing 5-1 triumph at Wofford.
In Friday's 6-1 victory against Davidson (4-16, 1-6 SoCon), Samford swept the doubles competition and then received dominant straight-set singles wins from Kristin Lewis, Stephanie N'tcha, Rebecca Kirven, Lindsey Mallory and Jessica Diamond.
Mallory, the Bulldogs' talented senior from Louisville, Ky., notched her fifth-straight singles victory Friday and improved her dual-match record on the season to 11-4. She also improved her stellar SoCon mark to 5-2 in singles play.
The Samford University women's tennis team will next be in action Saturday at 10 a.m. (CDT) as the Bulldogs conclude their five-match SoCon road trip in Boone, N.C., against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. The matchup will be held at the ASU Tennis Courts.
