DEMOREST, Ga. - Piedmont women's tennis returned to action for the first time in two weeks and delivered a resounding 9-0 defeat of LaGrange on a cloudy Monday afternoon in Demorest.

The Lions were perfect, not losing a single game across the two doubles lines and four singles lines that were contested on Monday.

With the Panthers having only four available players, Piedmont won by default at No. 3 doubles to lead 1-0 before a point was played. Then, it was a dominating effort at No. 2 doubles from Bri Laidman and Hollan Rabensdorf, followed by more of the same from two-time CCS Doubles Team of the Week Dannie Evans and Brook Patton at No. 1.

The win from Evans and Patton effectively clinched the match for the Lions, as LaGrange forfeited No. 5 and No. 6 singles due to only having four players.

With a 5-0 lead and the win in hand before singles was contested, Piedmont never let up, winning all four singles lines by a 6-0, 6-0 margin. Marion Sloyan picked up the win at No. 1 while Dakota Wilkes moved her dual singles record this season to 11-0 with a win at No. 2. Alyssa McSpadden rolled at No. 3 while Mia Vasher concluded the festivities with a victory at No. 4.

Up next, the Lions will play a doubleheader this Saturday, April 6. Piedmont will welcome No. 5 Emory for a 9:30 a.m. match before taking on Covenant at 2:30 p.m. in a critical CCS battle.
