LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN --
Madelyn Savage,
Nicole Restrepo, and
Lauren Carr each notched two wins and the Covenant women's tennis team remains undefeated in USA South play following a 6-3 victory over Huntingdon on Thursday at home.
Covenant (9-7, 4-0 USA South) has won four consecutive matches and the win was the first over Huntingdon (5-5, 2-2 USA South) since 2017.
The trio of Scots with two wins enabled Covenant to grab a lead after doubles and hold on to it in singles action.
Savage paired with
Gillian Bosko at the top flight in doubles and the tandem coasted to an 8-2 win over Allexii Bassette and Madeline Creel. At No. 2, it was Restrepo and Carr teaming up for an 8-4 victory over Kennedy Harp and Allison Stegall.Â
Huntingdon captured the third doubles flight, but the Scots took the 2-1 match lead into singles.
Savage bested Bassette once again, this time at the No. 1 spot in singles, as the Covenant junior took a 6-4, 6-4 victory over the Hawks top player. The win was Savage's 10th of the season in singles play.
Carr earned a 6-3, 6-1 win over Harp at No. 3, while Restrepo rallied for a three-set win over Stegall 2-6, 6-4, 10-6 at the No. 4 spot. Carr and Restrepo have won each of their last three singles contests, while the pair are a team-best 8-4 in doubles.
