PHILADELPHIA - The University of Delaware men's tennis team had a long and bountiful weekend at the 2024 ITA DI Men's Northeast Regional Championships hosted by Penn. Almost the entire roster competed at the tournament that began on Thursday with the qualifying draw for singles.

Siekanowicz had the longest singles run, making it to the quarterfinals on Sunday afternoon. The winners of each regional ITA competition earns a bid to the NCAA Championship draw.

"A big shout out to Piotr for reaching the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles putting him within the best eight players of the region. On the round of 32 and round of 16 he beat back to back two Princeton (top 20 team in the nation) line up players. Also a special mention to Euan for reaching back to back regionals" quarterfinals in doubles.
