DEMOREST, Ga. – The Piedmont College women's tennis team rolled to its third straight USA South sweep, blanking Wesleyan, 9-0, on Sunday afternoon at the Burgen Tennis Courts.
 
The Lady Lions (11-1) were able to easily take the three doubles points and quickly took the two singles matches necessary to clinch the victory.
 
For the second consecutive day, the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams for Piedmont did not drop a single game on their way to 8-0 wins. CRYSALIN GLORIA and KARA LANDSIEDEL clinched first at No. 3, moments before CAROLINE CONNELLY and SAMANTHA LOWRY closed out their own 8-0 win at No. 2.
 
PC took the clean sweep of doubles after MORGAN BUCHHOLZ and MEGAN WALDHEIM took their match at No. 1, 8-1.
 
In singles play, it did not take the Lady Lions long to clinch their 11th win of the season, as MAGGIE MOODY rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4 while Waldheim did the same at No. 3 to give Piedmont the 5-0 lead and the match.
 
In all six singles matches, the Lady Lions did not drop a single game in the second set, with freshman SAVANNA KENNEDY closing out the contest with a 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 6, her first career singles victory for PC.
 
Up next, the Lady Lions remain at home to host Covenant in a USA South contest. On Feb. 26, Piedmont defeated the Scots, 9-0, in a nonconference road match.
 
STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
- LILY MCNEEL, MAGGIE MOODY and MEGAN WALDHEIM each won their singles matches, 6-0, 6-0.
- Overall, the Lady Lions only dropped five total games over doubles and singles competition.
