WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Freshman Brooke Pilkington (Virginia Beach, Va./Cape Henry Collegiate) collected her team-leading 20th singles win of the season, but the Blue Hens came out on the wrong side of the 6-1 match against #49 William & Mary at the Millie West Tennis Facility.
Graduate student Denny LaMachia (Hopkinton, Mass./Hopkinton) and junior Amanda Studnicki (Normal, Ill./Normal West) posted a 7-6 (3) win in top-flight doubles, but the Tribe (9-9, 3-1 CAA) tallied the team point following victories in the second and third spots.
