Lady Lions Dominate Huntingdon, Remain Unbeaten in Conference

DEMOREST, Ga. - The Piedmont women's tennis team continued its rampage through the USA South with a dominant 9-0 home sweep of Huntingdon on Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Lions have now won nine consecutive matches and own a perfect 5-0 mark in conference having only lost three total lines over the five matches.

Once again, excellent doubles play helped Piedmont jump out to a fast start and never look back as it also won all six singles lines in straight sets.

The afternoon began as the No. 1 doubles team of MAGGIE MOODY and MEGAN WALDHEIM were perfect in an 8-0 win to put the first Piedmont point on the board. After KARA LANDSIEDEL and ABBEY GRACE VENHAM prevailed, 8-4, at No. 3, the underclassmen duo of sophomore IMANI VINCENT and freshman MELISSA GISH rolled to an 8-1 win at No. 2 to complete the doubles sweep.

Needing just two matches to clinch the win, it did not take the Lady Lions long to do just that. Venham struck first with a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 3 before the senior Waldheim put the exclamation point on the match, battling to win her first set, 6-4, before rolling to a 6-0 win in the second, giving PC the win.

Playing out the rest of the matches, Vincent continued her outstanding play with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph at No. 1 before Piedmont continued the onslaught at No. 4, 5 and 6 singles, losing only one game combined in all three matches.

Moody (6-0, 6-0) and Landsiedel (6-0, 6-0) were perfect at No. 4 and No. 5 before Gish dropped just a single game (6-0, 6-1) at No. 6 to close out the festivities.

- Moody and Waldheim's 8-0 rout at No. 1 doubles set the tone for the afternoon in which PC dominated the whole way.
