FAIRFAX, Va. – The Blue Hens continue to roll and picked up their fifth straight win Friday afternoon by topping George Mason, 6-1, at the Mason Tennis Courts.
Delaware collected the team doubles point with wins in the second and third flights.
Caragh Courtney and Emily Gotkiewicz opened play by defeating Hannah Harrod and Jackie Nannery, 6-2, in No. 2 doubles before Sarah Hall and Sarah Whited paired for the tough 7-6 (4) victory over Hannah Yang and Rachel Lee in the third slot.
Hall gave the Hens (8-9) the 2-0 advantage with a 6-2, 6-2 decision over Yang in No. 3 singles while Courtney stopped Brianna Gibbs, 6-1, 6-4, in the No. 2 spot.
Whited clinched the match with a 6-4, 6-2 win in No. 6 singles over Christine McCarthy.
Viva Laas tallied the hard-fought victory in the first flight, 6-4, 7-5, against Sydney Green and Gotkiewicz wrapped play in No. 4 singles with the 6-1, 5-7, 7-3 win versus Harrod.
With the win, Delaware improves to 21-4 all-time against the Patriots, including a 10-2 mark, in Fairfax.
POST-MATCH QUOTES
Head Coach Kelly Anderson
"I thought we played with grit and fight today. George Mason came out ready to compete and we dug in and played very good tennis. Viva showed what a fighter she is with a second set comeback from 5-2 down and Sarah Hall is starting to show the same form she had in the fall playing outdoors. Caragh, Emily and Sarah Whited are all improving in every match and I'm excited for the remainder of the season!"
