LYNCHBURG, Va. -- With a top doubles win already in hand, Randolph had a shot to put Randolph-Macon in a deep hole, but No. 2 and No. 3 doubles fell in tight ones.

The loss is the first for the WildCats at home this year after eight straight wins.

First-year Alison Henry (Charlottesville, Va./Albemarle) and junior Patricia Verdezoto (Cuenza, Azuay, Ecuador/Bilingue Interamericano) won at top doubles, 8-2, making quick work of their opposition.

On neighboring courts, Randolph had leads late at No. 2 and No. 3, with both matches ending nearly simultaneously.

Unfortunately for Randolph, the pair of sophomore Dina Velazco (Barquisimeto, Venezuela/Colegio Las Fuertes) and first-year Jenna Sweet (Clarksville, Md./Atholton) and the duo of first-year Heather Parra (Wilmington, N.C./Eugene Ashley) and sophomore Sarah Parker (Washington, D.C. / Sidwell Friends) each fell, 9-7, in tough matches.

In singles play, Verdezoto fell, 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (5-7) in an intense top singles match.

Henry, Parra and Parker fell in straight sets at Nos. 2, 4 and 5, respectively, with Velazco taking a 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 3.

Junior Danielle Lewis (Kingston, Jamaica/Immaculate Conception) competed at No. 6, but fell in a supertiebreaker.

Randolph completes its regular season on Saturday, with a first-round matchup expected on April 20. The WildCats, who are 6-4 in ODAC play, fell from the final hosting spot, No. 4, to No. 6 in the standings with the loss today.
