WILMINGTON, Del. – The Blue Hens posted multiple strong performances Sunday afternoon at DuPont Country Club, but George Washington prevailed for the 5-2 victory.
Sophomore Sara Komer (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) notched her fifth straight win of the year, and her first-career in No. 1 singles, by coming from behind to defeat Maria Siopacha, 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (2).
Classmate Sarah Hall (West Orange, N.J./Mount Saint Dominic Academy) continued a winning streak of her own as she picked up her third straight victory with a 5-7, 7-2, 3-2 decision over Sara Grubac.
Komer and Hall also paired for Delaware's lone doubles win of the season in the second flight.
“What a battle! Doubles came down to the wire and four of the five three set matches went the distance because we adapted after dropping the first sets. I'm proud of the fact that each student-athlete gave 100 percent of what she had to give today. Several people made significant personal developmental breakthroughs as well. While the loss stings, the reality is that this match has made us better.”
