DEMOREST, Ga. - The Piedmont women's tennis team cruised past Brevard in its USA South home opener on a windy Thursday afternoon at the Burgen Tennis Courts.

The Lady Lions were able to take two out of three doubles lines and quickly dispatched of the Tornados in singles, winning all six matches in dominant fashion.

Piedmont began the afternoon with an 8-1 win at No. 3 doubles from MELISSA GISH and MAGGIE MOODY as the duo improved to 8-2 on the season and 3-0 at the No.3 spot together. ALYSSA MCSPADDEN and IMANI VINCENT then rolled to an 8-3 victory at No. 2 to make it 2-0 Lady Lions.

However, Brevard fought back, winning at No. 1 doubles in a tiebreaker to cut its deficit to 2-1 heading into singles. It marked the first line that Piedmont has lost in a USA South match this season.

Leading 2-1 and with No. 1, 2 and 3 singles going on court first, the trio of Vincent, ABBEY GRACE VENHAM and Gish took care of business.

The group combined to lose only three games as Vincent did not drop a single game and provided the clinching win at 5-1 for the Lady Lions.

 

The dominance continued as MARION SLOYAN (6-0, 6-3), DAKOTA WILKES (6-0, 6-1) and ALLISON DEMPSEY (6-0, 6-0) stepped onto the courts and closed out the match in decisive favor for Piedmont.

This marks the program's 27th consecutive USA South win and head coach Trey Martin is 20-0 in conference matches in his fourth season.

Up next, the Lady Lions will take on Covenant this Saturday, April 9 at 2:30 p.m. with the USA South West Division Regular Season championship on the line.
