Lady Netters Victorious on Senior Day

The Oglethorpe University women's tennis team defeated Southeastern on Wednesday afternoon, 8-1. The Petrels celebrated Senior Day in style as the class of 2010 of Sarah Beth Britt, Kimberly O'Dell and Alison Burt each scored victories on the afternoon.

The Stormy Petrels began the afternoon by claiming all three doubles points with Britt and Burt (8-2) winning at No. 1 and Molly Colvard and Jayme Danielson (8-2) earning a victory at No. 2. The duo of O'Dell and Kayla Atkins won without breaking a sweat as their Southeastern counterparts forfeited the match.

In singles, the Petrels were victorious in each of their matches except No. 2 where Britt (6-3, 6-2) went down to her opponent. Danielson (6-1, 6-1) clinched the match for Oglethorpe from the No. 1 position while Colvard (6-2, 6-3), Burt (6-2, 6-4), O'Dell (6-2, 6-3) and Duff (forfeit) also secured singles points with victories.

With the win, Oglethorpe is now 5-8 on the season and will have a week off before travelling to Birmingham April 9 for a gauntlet of matches against SCAC foes.
