HEMPSTEAD,

tennis team posted its eight shutout of
the year with a 7-0 victory over Hofstra
while the Blue Hen men were edged by a 4-3
margin against the Pride in a pair of
Colonial Athletic Association tennis
matches Sunday afternoon.
The
Delaware women improved to 13-5 (2-1 CAA)
as they won all three doubles matches to
earn that point and then swept the six
singles matches, winning each in straight
sets. Hofstra fell to 3-11 with the
loss.
On the
mens' side, Delaware earned the doubles
point but were defeated in four of the six
singles matches to drop the 4-3 decision.
The Blue Hens fell to 9-5 (1-2 CAA) with
their second straight 4-3 loss while
Hofstra improved to 7-5 with the victory.
The
Delaware women remained undefeated
all-time vs. Hofstra at 11-0 and the 13
wins mark the highest win total for the
Blue Hen women since the 1999-2000 squad
posted a 15-5 record and placed second at
the America East championships. The
Hofstra men downed Delaware for the third
straight year and for the second straight
time by a 4-3 margin.
In women's

posted a 6-0, 6-0 win over Barbara van der

Brittany Barsky downed Jillian Schalk 6-2,
6-1 at No. 6. Pollack and Perlow each won
their 18th singles matches of the season,
the highest total for a UD player since

in 1998-99.
In
doubles, Pollack and Dragonette were 8-0
winners over van der Woude and Reggiani at
No. 1, Miller and Barsky teamed for an 8-6

over Tal Alexander and Matt Schor at the
No. 2 spot and the No. 3 team of Philip
Wayne and Sammy Carl were 8-1 winners over
Andy Cha and Rob Sforzo, improving to 14-1

Ditman (13-4) at the No. 3 spot and from
Hanschman (16-5) at the No. 4 spot. Ditman

by Jeff Harrison in 1989-90 and by Steve
Querner in 1978-79. Delaware's No. 1
