SAN DIEGO – Adel-Byanu Abidullina and Eliza Askarova defeated the ITA Southern Regional doubles champs on Thursday in the round of 16 at the ITA Fall National Championships to advance to the quarterfinals.

"Another solid and tough performance today by Adel and Eliza," assistant coach Elise van Heuvelen Treadwell said. "I am pleased with the progress they are making daily and how they are both handling the changes in these matches. It's great to see both of them growing and learning together, and continuing to fight for the Blue & Gold."

The Blue Hens defeated LSU's freshmen duo of Anastasiya Komar and Nikita Vishwase in straight sets with a 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) decision.
