ORLANDO, FLA. - The sixth-seeded Davidson Wildcats earned a spot in the Atlantic 10 Women's Tennis quarterfinals, defeating George Mason, 4-0 Wednesday at the USTA National Campus in Orlando. 

All three doubles matches were hard-fought and could have gone either way.  Davidson struck first in doubles play, with the pair of Josie Schaffer and Elizabeth Truluck taking a 7-5 victory on court one against Mason's top duo of Jackie Nannery and Francella Trella . The Patriots evened up the doubles action with a win of their own behind Paige La and Hannah Yang in a tiebreaker, 7-6(1). The opening point hinged on court three, where Mira Gladstone and Victoria Anyanwu clinched the point, also in a tiebreaker, 7-6(5), against Savanna Crowell and Christine McCarthy.

Gladstone, playing at No. 3 singles, rode the momentum of her doubles victory, to a straight-set singles victory to extend the 'Cats lead. On court four, Yang won the first set against Ava Ignatowich, but was trailing in set two when she was forced to retire, giving Davidson a 3-0 lead.

After dropping the second set, Franny Shea replicated her first set 6-0 win to clinch the match for the Wildcats.
