MARIETTA, Ohio -- The University of Pikeville women's tennis team cruised to a 7-2 win on Sunday afternoon to wrap up the regular season with an 8-7 record.
Marietta's lone wins came by default as the Bears had five players available, leading to forfeits at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles.
Despite trailing 2-0 before the match started, UPIKE wasted little time evening things up as the top seeded duo of Samantha Fraser and Cailee Marcum beat Latrice Nelson and Victoria Xie 8-1 and the No. 2 pair of Camila Agudelo and Andrea Hurtado topped Katie Kitchen and Erin Warvell 8-3.
UPIKE grabbed the lead for good when Fraser shut out Xie 6-0. 6-0 at the top singles spot. It was the only shut out, but Agudelo was nearly as good, beating Nelson 6-2, 6-0 at the second seed, while Hurtado beat Kitchen 6-0, 6-2.
Marcum was smooth sailing against Warvell at No. 4, 6-1, 6-2 and Madison Daniels wrapped up the wins at No. 5 where she beat Destiny Grim 7-5, 6-3.
Up Next for the Bears is the Mid-South Conference Championship on April 20-22 at Kereiakes Park in Bowling Green, Ky.
