by Cory Guinn

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Barton women's tennis team moved its Conference Carolinas record to 3-3 with a convincing 8-1 win over league foe Converse College on Friday afternoon at the Converse Tennis Complex.

The Lady Bulldogs won all three points in doubles' competition, including an 8-1 win at No. 2 and an 8-0 win at No. 3. The No. 1 duo of Daria Avram and Marissa Stevenson were forced to a tiebreaker, but prevailed 8-7 (7-5).

Senior Dana Kelly began singles' play with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 6 before Stevenson followed with her own 6-0, 6-0 victory at No. 2 to seal the match decision.

Converse's only point came via a win at No. 4, while sophomore Vanessa Sanoja and senior Lorraine Chon-Qui each won in the No. 3 and No. 5 positions, respectively. Avram picked up Barton's final point with a 1-6, 7-5, 10-4 win in the top spot.

Barton travels to Gaffney, S.C. for another league match tomorrow, this time against the Saints of Limestone College.
