March 18, 2001 Mouber-Kennedy Win at No. 1 Doubles for Hens
NEWARK, DE -- Villanova University swept non-league tennis matches from the University of Delaware Sunday as the Wildcat men downed Delaware 7-0 at the Delaware Field House Courts and the Villanova women downed UD 6-1 at the Carpenter Sports Building Courts. The matches, the home opener for both Blue Hen teams, was originally scheduled for Saturday but were moved back a day due to inclement weather. In the men's match, Villanova won all six singles matches, five in straight sets, and two of the three doubles matches to post the victory over the Blue Hens (0-2). Delaware's lone winner was the No. 1 doubles team of David Mouber and Lee Kennedy which downed Josh Schofield and Casey Simmons by an 8-6 score. Delaware's No. 6 player, Pat Seitz, took Simmons to three sets before falling 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. In other matches, Brad Adams downed Mouber 6-3, 6-3 at No. 1, Schofield downed Kennedy 6-4, 6-3 at No. 2, A. J. Rohde defeated Delaware's Sanjay Khindri 6-1, 6-3 at No. 3, Ryan Devine downed Ari Zweig 6-3, 6-3 at No. 4, and Paul Moore ousted John Fogelgren 6-4, 7-6 at the No. 5 spot. In the women's match, Delaware (0-1) lost its season opener despite getting wins from freshman Devon Hufnal at the No. 6 singles spot and from Elly Giese and Jessica Wilkes at the No. 1 doubles spot. Hufnal (Dover, DE HS) won her first collegiate match as she downed Villanova's Sara Fabrisio 6-4, 1-6 with a 14-12 tie-breaker. Also winning for the Hens was the No. 1 doubles team of Giese and Wilkes who defeated Julie Darne and Steph Ariot 8-2. Villanova got singles wins from Darne over Giese 6-0, 6-1 at No. 1; Ariot defeated Wilkes 6-2, 6-1 at No. 2, Ashley Young snapped Martine Street's 11-match win streak with a 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 3; Jessica Rybacki downed Anisha Talati 6-2, 6-1 at No. 4, and Kelly McAndrew defeated Jessica Quittman 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5.
