Blue Hens Defeat Drexel, 6-1, in School Record 14th Straight Victory
3/8/2020 8:16:00 PM | Men's Tennis
WILMINGTON, Del. – Delaware continues to re-write the record books and Sunday was no different as the Blue Hens defeated Drexel, 6-1, at DuPont Country Club.
The win was the 14th straight for the Hens, which bests Delaware's previous record of 13 straight set during the 1981-82 season.
The Blue Hens have also now won three Colonial Athletic Association matches in the same season for the first time since 2011 and topped the Dragons for the first time since 2013.
Delaware entered singles play up, 1-0, after capturing the team doubles point for the 11th time this season.
Luis Molina cruised to the No. 2 singles win for his team-leading 17th triumph of the year before James Wilkinson picked up his seventh straight top-flight victory.
Guilherme Valdoleiros clinched the win in No. 4 singles while Liam Hedlund and Justice Jones also earned victories for Delaware.
POST-MATCH QUOTES
Head Coach Pablo Montana
"This was a total team effort today and I am so happy and thrilled for this band of brothers! They have worked so hard and I am so proUD of their belief in themselves and not doubting the process. This is another huge milestone for the program, and we are taking on match at a time, improving and learning with every opportunity. We will enjoy this victory tonight, but then we put our blinders back on tomorrow as we continue to run to the roar!"
