Women’s tennis bounces back with win at Piedmont

DEMOREST, Ga. – The Huntingdon women's tennis team battled back from a tough conference loss on Friday and knocked off Piedmont College 6-3 on Saturday.

With the win, Huntingdon (9-1, 8-1 USA South) remains one of three conference teams with one loss or less. North Carolina Wesleyan (9-2, 9-0 USA South) leads the conference and Huntingdon and Methodist (12-5, 8-1 USA South) are tied for second.

Hannah Still (No. 1), Sarah Warren (No. 2), Tara-Beth Hall (No. 5) and Caroline McBroom (No. 6) picked up singles wins for Huntingdon. The teams of Still-Warren (No. 1) and Octavia Pendleton-Hall (No. 3) won in doubles.
