WILMINGTON, Del. – The No. 73 University of Delaware women's tennis team won its fourth-straight match with a 5-2 victory over Georgetown on Sunday afternoon in a dual match played at the DuPont Country Club. With the win, the Blue Hens won eight of their past nine matches and improve to 10-2 on the season.
"This was another solid win for the program and it was an exciting match to be a part of," said Director of Tennis Pablo Montana. "We knew going into today's match that this was going to be a tough one, and we kept our cool through and through and we battled hard on every court. Our doubles looked great today and we are definitely improving with each match. In singles, we came out firing and had great energy and grit, and I am really proud of my players for staying focused and composed throughout the day. We will use this confidence as we prepare for Temple on Thursday."
The doubles team of Alina Vasilenko and Dominika Sujova opened up the match with a 6-1 win at the No. 2 position. After the Hoyas knotted things up, the duo of Isabella Montana and Samantha Svendsen won the doubles point for UD with a 7-5 win at No. 3
Vasilenko kept things going with a 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles before Eliza Askarova extended Delaware's lead to 3-0 with a 7-5, 6-1 victory at No. 1.
Georgetown won the next two matches before Sujova clinched the match at the No. 5 position with a 7-5, 6-2 win. Maria Constantinou capped things off with an exciting 4-6, 6-4, 10-3 win at No. 6.
