Delaware Netters Down LaSalle 9-0; Giese Ties Win Mark

 

NEWARK, DE -- Freshman Elly Giese tied the school record for singles wins in a season with a straight set victory at the No. 5 spot to lead the University of Delaware women's tennis team to a 9- 0 win over LaSalle in the Blue Hens' regular season finale Tuesday afternoon at the Delaware Field House Courts.

The Blue Hens, who will travel to the University of Vermont for the America East Championships this weekend, end the regular season with a record of 15-8 (7-0 America East). The America East tournament champion will earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.

Giese, a freshman from Washington, DC (National Cathedral), downed Christine Androtta 6-0, 6-0 to win her 16th straight match and improve to 22-1 on the season. She ties the record set by current UD head coach Laura Travis (LeRoy) who went 22-3 in 1988. Giese also teamed with Kristin Wasniewski for a win at No. 1 doubles.

Also posting singles victories for the Hens, all in straight sets, were Wasniewski, Karen Greenstein, Erin Kamen, Tracy Guerin, and Martine Street. Kamen, a junior, improved to 19-4 on the season and 56-8 for her career in singles play.
