Box Score

ELKTON, Md. – No. 32 University of Delaware men's tennis stayed undefeated with a 5-2 decision over Navy Friday. The Blue Hens move to 8-0, while the Mids drops to 14-5.

ON THE RECORD
"Today was a very important win for us because Navy is a team that gives nothing away and plays very tough," Head Men's Tennis Coach Marc Pibernat said. "We knew beforehand that today we were going to get challenged on every match and we did a very good job staying composed and true to our tennis, which is what gave us the win. Another great week for the Hens and the team will have a well-deserved weekend off. We will get back to work on Monday to prepare for LIU and Georgetown next weekend."

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

Delaware cruised to a 1-0 lead with three wins in doubles.
Javier Ruiz, Tobey Lock, Euan Mackenzie, and Alexandre Gluck quickly worked ahead to seal the victory.
Ruiz clinched the win in the no. 2 slot.
