BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Samford women's tennis rallied for a 5-2 victory over the Western Carolina Catamounts (4-15, 0-10 SoCon) at the Samford Tennis Center Saturday.

In the win, Samford (7-9, 4-3 SoCon) dropped the doubles point, but rolled to five-straight triumphs in singles play, four of which occurred in straight sets. The Catamounts won the doubles point Saturday as Layne Arnold and Izabella Glinska earned an 8-5 victory on court No. 2. Western Carolina was also victorious in the No. 3 doubles match where it won by default.

The Bulldogs' Taylor Morgan, Andrie Meiring, Stephanie Parkison, Jessica Diamond and Beth Erwin were all victorious in singles play Saturday.

Samford was forced to compete in Saturday's match with only five healthy players, therefore the Bulldogs had to default in both the No. 3 doubles competition and the No. 6 singles match.

In the No. 1 doubles contest, Samford's tandem of Morgan and Parkison won 8-1.
