WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The 64th-ranked Wake Forest women's tennis team won both matches of a doubleheader on Saturday at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex, sweeping both Elon and Furman by scores of 7-0.
The pair of victories improved the Demon Deacons' record on the season to 5-0. The team has won its first five matches for the seventh time in program history.
In singles, Kimmy Guerin, Joanna Zalewski and Samantha Asch all improved to 5-0 on the spring with two victories on the day.
Wake Forest 7, Elon 0
To kick off the day, Wake Forest jumped out to a 1-0 lead over Elon by claiming the doubles point. Samantha Asch and Emma Davis gave the Deacons an edge by winning, 6-1, at the second position before No. 51-ranked Andrea Retolaza and Luisa Fernandez sealed the point with a 6-3 victory at No. 3.
The Demon Deacons continued to roll in singles, winning all six matches. The hosts quickly jumped out a 3-0 lead when Kimmy Guerin won at No. 1 after her opponent, Olivia Lucas, retired with an injury in the second set. Almost simultaneously, Joanna Zalewski wrapped up a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4.
The team victory was secured when Davis took a 6-2, 6-0 decision in the second flight. Rounding out the Deacs' sweep with singles wins were Asch at No. 5, Anna Ulyashchenko at No. 3 and Fernandez at No. 6. All of the wins came in straight sets.
Wake Forest 7, Furman 0
For their second win of the day, the Demon Deacons again used the doubles competition to create an early lead. Kimmy Guerin and Anna Ulyashchenko got things started at No. 1 with a 6-3 win. They were followed by Emma Davis and Kasey Gardiner, who won by the same score at the third spot to seal the 1-0 team lead.
In singles, Davis blanked Katarina Weymouth at No. 2 in back-to-back sets to make it 2-0. Guerin and Joanna Zalewski then capped straight-set triumphs to lock up the team win.
For the second-straight match, Asch made it 5-0 with a two-set win. Xue Zhang then improved to 2-0 in dual match singles with a 7-6 (3), 6-1 win at No. 6. She was trailing, 4-1, in her first set before storming back to seize the victory. Ulyashchenko concluded the match with a match tiebreaker triumph at No. 3.
Next Up
The Deacons will play their next five games on the road, starting with a Feb. 6 contest at VCU. The last match of that stretch is their ACC opener at Clemson. Wake Forest will return to Winston-Salem to kick off a season-long, five-match homestand with a doubleheader on Feb. 26. They will start that day with a conference contest against Louisville before ending the day versus UNC-Greensboro.
