The Wildcats got wins in singles from Connor Nichols, who defeated Hayden Robbins 6-4, 6-2, and Chase Still, who defeated Steven Evan 4-6, 6-1, 10-5 (tiebreaker). Woodland's Keegan Shinall lost to Carter Hightower, 0-6, 0-6.
Sweeping doubles action for the Wildcats were Adam Tobin and Corey Tobin, who won 6-0, 6-1 over Jacob Mitchell and Collin Cates, and Derek Everett and John Tate, who scored a 6-4, 6-4 victory over John Ross Maddox and Josh Story.
"I appreciated everything that my players put out there tonight because they had a renewed vigor and passion for the game," Wildcats coach Kevin Tant said after Woodland's victory. "You could see how much each player wanted the victory and played every single point like it would determine the victory and in the end, we persevered. I think this may be the first time we've beaten Rome and to do it in such a convincing way is very heartening."
In addition to Thursday's match with the Wolves, Woodland also competed in the Colonels Tennis Invitational over the weekend.
The Wildcats played Osborne Friday and Excel Christian and Laney on Saturday.
