Delaware Shutout in Florida Finale

DELAND, FL -- The University of Delaware men’s and women’s tennis teams closed out their annual trip to Florida with non-league losses Thursday afternoon.

The Delaware men (9-10) suffered their second straight setback with a 7-0 loss to Stetson in Deland, FL while the UD women (4-8) fell to Embry-Riddle by a score of 8-1. The Stetson men improved to 20-4 on the season while Embry-Riddle, the No. 4 ranked team in NCAA Division III, improved to 14-7.

In the women’s match, Delaware got its lone victory at No. 1 singles where Jessica Wilkes improved to 11-5 on the season with a 7-6 (8), 7-5 win over Sylvia Vojtisek. Embry-Riddle won four other singles matches in straight sets but the Hens almost pulled out a win at No. 6 singles where Jessica Anaya got past Delaware’s Julia Shapiro by a 6-3, 4-6 (10-7) score.

The closest doubles match came at No. 1 where Vojtisek and Liza Francis edged the Hens’ Wilkes and Beth Principe 8-4.

Stetson dominated the men’s match as the Hatters won all six singles matches in straight sets and were easy winners in two of the three doubles matches.

Delaware’s Dustin Lewis had his three-match win streak snapped as he moved up to the No. 2 spot from his usual No. 4 position and dropped a 6-0, 6-4 decision to Aleksander Antonijevic.
