PHILADELPHIA - Delaware women's tennis competed at the ITA Northeast Regional Championships, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania over the weekend.
Maryia Hrynashka and Paulina Jurkowska advanced to the semifinal round in doubles action, marking the fourth consecutive year that a Fightin' Blue Hen has made it that far in this event.
ON THE RECORD
This was another great regional championship for our program; the fourth year in a row we've reached the semifinals or better, head coach Pablo Montana said. I couldn't be more proud of our players for the way they carried themselves and competed. We came up a little short today in the semifinals, but we played our brand of tennis and stayed aggressive until the very end.
HEN HIGHLIGHTS
- Hrynashka, Jurkowska, Lara Russiniello, and Amelia Gorman represented Delaware at the tournament.
- All four Hens picked up victories at the event.
- Both doubles teams representing UD made it to the round of 16.
- Russiniello made her first appearance and grabbed her first win at an ITA collegiate event.
- The No. 8 doubles partners in the northeast region, Hrynashka and Jurkowska, fell to a set of ranked foes as the doubles partners from Fordham ranked sixth in the preseason rankings.
GAME NOTES
- This was Hrynashka's third straight trip to this event and Jurkowska's second.
- Gorman made her fourth appearance in an ITA Regional, with the first three coming in the central regional as a member of SIUE.
- This was Gorman's second time defeating Irmak Ozturk and Tianni Zhou from Temple in doubles action this year. She took them down with Navya Vadlamudi (6-0) at the Villanova/UD Invite.
- The 6-1 total doubles mark moves the Hens to 21-10 (.677) on the year.
