PRINCETON, NJ -- Four members of the University of Delaware men's and women's tennis teams competed at the Omni Hotels/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Eastern Regionals this weekend (Oct. 26-27) at Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania.

In the men's competition at Princeton's Jadwin Gymnasium, Delaware sophomore Sanjay Khindri (Emmaus/Macungie, PA) became the first men's player in UD head coach Laura Travis' nine-year tenure to win a match at the ITA tournament. In all 128 players competed in singles.

Khindri (5-8) defeated Colin Torrence of Fairfield 6-4, 7-5 in the first round before falling to No. 15 seed Zach Gallin of Cornell by a score of 6-1, 6-4.

Khindri later teamed with freshman John Tully (Pittsford Sutherland/Pittsford, NY) to capture their first round match with an 8-2 win over Rhode Island's team of Dave Gutstein and Bill Moran. No. 7 seed Ryan Coyle and Chris Shackelton of Yale defeated Khindri and Tully 8-6 in the second round. Khindri and Tully finished the fall season with a 3-3 record in doubles play.

In the women's competition at Penn's Ley Pavilion, Blue Hen senior Elly Giese (National Cathedral/Washington, DC) fell to No. 4 seed Ashley Kroh of Marshall by a 6-2, 6-0 score in the first round. Giese posted 5-3 record during the fall season.

In doubles play, the Delaware team of Giese and junior Jessica Wilkes (Nazareth/Bethlehem, PA) fell to Marshall's Jessica Johnson and Anna Mitina. Giese and Wilkes finished the fall season with a record of 5-3 in doubles.

Both Delaware teams will resume play in the March.
