Wayne Wins Flight D-1 Singles Title at Hampton Roads Collegiate Invitational

Date: October 18, 2004

NEWPORT NEWS, VA -- University of Delaware junior Philip Wayne (right) captured the men's Flight D-1 singles championship and the UD team of Susan Pollack and Sari Shuster advanced to the women's Flight A-1 doubles finals to highlight action by the Blue Hens at the Hampton Roads Collegiate Tennis Invitational hosted by Old Dominion University this past weekend.

The Delaware men advanced to the semifinals in four events with Wayne leading the way with the tournament title. Wayne defeated American's Daniel Frid 7-5, 6-3 in the first round, David Weiner of Christopher Newport 6-0, 6-0 in the quarterfinals, John Hayashi of Navy 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinals, and James Madison's Dan Davidson 6-0, 6-1 in the finals.

Also advancing to the semifinals were senior John Tully in the Flight A singles, the Flight C doubles team of Sammy Carl and Wayne, and the Flight D doubles team of Adam Freedenberg and Adam Liebman. Tully improved to 8-2 this season and to 50-36 for his career to move into a tie for fourth on the all-time UD career singles wins list, just seven shy of the school record of 57 wins by Jon Zolin in 1971-75.

The Delaware women advanced three to the semifinals led by Pollack and Shuster, who downed doubles teams from Lafayette and Georgetown before falling to William & Mary's Candice Fuchs and Megan Moulton-Levy in the Flight A-1 doubles final.

Also for the Hens, Liz Perlow advanced to the Flight B-1 singles semifinals with wins over James Madison's Ashley Reyher and Richmond's Jelena Zivanovic before falling to Old Dominion's Fernada Luiz 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals. The loss to Luiz was Perlow's first of the season after starting out 13-0.

Delaware's Julie Schiller also advanced to the Flight D singles semifinals with wins over Adriana Segura of Hofstra, Ayana Hipolite of Howard, and Eileen Boyle of Georgetown before falling to Liz Dibbs of Connecticut.

Pollack also lost her first singles match of the season after going 11-0 when she fell to William & Mary's Lena Sherbakov in the first round of the Flight A singles competition.

The Blue Hens will close out the fall schedule next week with both the Delaware men and women taking part at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regionals.
