PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Delaware wrapped regular season play with a 6-1 loss to Drexel Sunday afternoon at the Vidas Courts.
The loss snapped a season-best eight game winning streak for the Blue Hens.
Caragh Courtney was the lone Hen to come out on top in singles with a 7-5, 4-6, 10-4 battle against Ghita Benhadi in the second flight.
In doubles play, Sarah Hall and Tayo Adetunji topped Marta Martinez and Katka Majorova, 6-3, in the third spot for their third straight win of the year.
After starting the year with a 3-9 record, the Blue Hens conclude the regular season with an overall mark of 11-10 while going 1-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association.
Pairings for next weekend's CAA Tournament will be announced on Monday.
POST-MATCH QUOTES
Head Coach Kelly Anderson
"Drexel played well today. The doubles point was pivotal and although we came up short, I feel like that was the best doubles we have played all season. It always hurts to lose, but I am proud of the way this team has bounced back in the second half of this regular season. We have a lot of positives to take into the CAA Tournament next week and I feel like we have positioned ourselves well to play our best tennis in the postseason."
