WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Delaware women's tennis (12-3, 2-1 CAA) narrowly fell at William & Mary (9-4, 3-0 CAA) Sunday, 4-3. The loss snaps an 11-match win streak for the Blue & Gold.

"We fought hard and competed," Director of Tennis Pablo Montana said. "I'm so proud of my players for their heart and strength and for never backing down. William & Mary did better than us on the big points. We will learn from this match and continue to improve."

Delaware started ahead 1-0 with wins in first and third doubles.
