Lady Petrels Sweep Past Piedmont

The Oglethorpe University women's tennis team swept Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia on Tuesday afternoon, 9-0. The number one doubles combination of Alison Burt and Jayme Danielson won in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (5) and the Petrels went on to steamroll the Lions.

After Burt-Danielson survived their tough contest, the twos and the threes dispatched their Piedmont opponents easily. Molly Colvard and Sarah Beth Britt (8-1) won at number two and Kimberly O'Dell and LaDonna Barnes (8-0) combined for a whitewashing at number three.

The Petrels continued their success in the singles matches, dropping only one of the thirteen sets played. Danielson (6-0, 6-0) dominated at number one while Britt (6-3, 7-6) ended her match at number two in a second set tiebreaker (10-7). Colvard (6-0, 6-0) blanked her opponent at number three and Burt (6-0, 6-1) narrowly missed accomplishing the same feat at number four. Sarah Duff (6-2, 5-7, 6-3) won in three sets at number five and O'Dell (6-4, 6-2)closed out the sweep for Oglethorpe at number six.

The Stormy Petrels are now 3-4 on the season and will get set to host Spartanburg Methodist this Friday at 3:00 p.m. on Downing Howell Courts.
