The ’Cats ended their season with an even 12-12 record.
In the team’s final match of the season, the doubles competition was stiff. The duo of Ali Gores ’10 and Molly McDevitt ’12 lost 8-4 in the No. 3 spot but with the play by Alison Rauh ’10 and Lora Dushanova ’09, the team was able to redeem themselves with the No. 2 spot win. The overall team winner for the doubles play came down to the decisive match at the No. 1 spot as Davidson was represented by Michele Fanney ’09 and Virginia Berry ’10.
The Wildcats lost to a tough Paladin pair, though.
In the singles competition, Dushanova finished with a win in the No. 6 spot. Dushanova ended her Davidson tennis career in a four match winning streak with a 5-1 mark overall for the season. Her time at Davidson finishes with a grand total of 46 career wins. Fanney made her finale as well, turning in 11 singles wins for the season and 44 for her career. Davidson persevered through a hard season with stiff competition and broke even on their record.
