VILLANOVA, Pa.—In its final home match of the season Villanova (5-3) swept the doubles matches and tallied wins in the third through sixth spots in the singles lineup to come away with a 5-2 win over Georgetown (0-1) at the Villanova Tennis Complex on Saturday afternoon. Senior Lexi DeNucci (Glastonbury, Conn.) was a winner at No. 1 doubles and No. 3 singles to help the Wildcats tally the win.

The third doubles match was not played and the duo of sophomore Caitlin Fisher (Cincinnati, Ohio) and freshman Rose Kenny (Charlotte, N.C.) were awarded a win by default.
 
The individual winners in singles action were DeNucci, Fisher and freshman Bella Steffen (Cary, N.C.) in addition to a default win for Kenny in the sixth spot in the lineup. Each of the wins came in straight sets, with DeNucci earning a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Coburn in the third singles match. Fisher held off Carmen Aizpurua for a 6-3, 7-6 decision in the No. 4 spot and Steffen powered past Murphy for a 6-1, 6-2 win at No. 5 singles.
 
Georgetown recorded points in close matches in the top two spots of the singles lineup. Althans went to a third set in the No. 2 match against Bendetti before falling 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 and Klopfer was defeated by set scores of 6-1 and 7-5 in the No. 1 singles match.
