Women's Tennis Closes Out Undefeated CCS Regular Season, Takes Two from Belhaven

NEED TO KNOW:
Match 1 Score: Piedmont 9, Belhaven 0
Match 2 Score: Piedmont 9, Belhaven 0
Records: Piedmont, 22-4 (7-0 CCS)

DEMOREST, Ga. - Piedmont women's tennis closed out its regular season in style on Saturday, taking a pair of home matches over Belhaven, 9-0.

The first match saw the Lions honor eight seniors beforehand, and then put on a clinical display to finish the CCS regular season undefeated at 7-0. Shortly after the first match was in the books, they defeated the Blazers again by a 9-0 score, this time in non-conference play.


 

Match 1: Piedmont 9, Belhaven 0

After the Senior Day festivities were concluded, the Lions took care of business on the court. With Belhaven only having five available players, the Lions took a 1-0 lead before a point was played. Then, it was a dominant performance in doubles to make it 3-0. First, Abbey Grace Venham and Bri Laidman cruised to an 8-1 victory at No. 1 before seniors Dannie Evans and Brook Patton won 8-4 at No. 2.

The Blazers forfeited No. 6 singles, so the Lions needed just one singles line to clinch the match. That win came in the form of Mia Vasher, playing in her final home match. Vasher cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 triumph at No. 5.


 

From there, the Lions continued to play solid across all lines, dropping just five total games across the five singles matches that were contested. Marion Sloyan picked up a 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 1 while Dakota Wilkes finished her perfect regular season in singles 16-0 with a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 2.

After already having set the Piedmont season record for singles wins, Alyssa McSpadden did not drop a game in a win at No. 3. Rounding things out, sophomore Sarah Row won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 4.

Match 2: Piedmont 9, Belhaven 0

Rolling right in to match two of the day, the Lions saw a different group of players achieve the same result. In the two contested doubles matches, Piedmont delivered a pair of 8-1 wins. Kenzie Imsand and Vasher won at No. 1 while Sloyan and freshman Olivia Carpenter did the same at No. 2.

For the second straight match, the clinch was produced at No. 5 singles, this time from Lizzie Ivey, who cruised 6-0, 6-0. 

Also for the second straight match, the Lions lost just five singles games across the five matches. 

Jordan Ballard dropped just one game in a 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 1. Then, it was the freshmen who closed it out, as Imsand (6-1, 6-1 at No. 2), Daisha Thompson (6-1, 6-0 at No. 4) and Drea Robinson (6-0, 6-1 at No. 3) completed the shutout for the day.

Up next, the Lions will take on the CCS Conference Tournament, looking to three-peat as conference tournament champions, and repeat in the CCS.
