RICHMOND, Va. – Eliza Askarova has made a splash in her first season with the Blue Hens and was named Wednesday as the CAA Women's Singles Player of the Week.

Askarova has led Delaware to a 4-0 record this spring including wins last week over La Salle (7-0) and Quinnipiac (6-1).

In Friday's match against the Explorers, the freshman cruised to the top-flight 6-1, 6-1 victory against Ali Snyder. Askarova then defeated Quinnipiac's Kamilla Nella, 6-2, 6-3, in No. 1 singles on Sunday.

Askarova is 4-0 in No. 1 singles this spring with an overall record of 11-3. She has helped guide UD to its best start since 2012-13 when the Hens also went 4-0 to open the year.

Delaware returns to the courts Friday with its first road test of the season in a 1 p.m. match at George Washington. The Hens then host Temple on Sunday at 3 p.m. at DuPont Country Club.
