September 21, 2002 Hawks Win by Taking Two of Three Doubles Matches
NEWARK, DE -- Saint Joseph's two doubles wins proved to be the difference as the Hawks spoiled the home opener for the University of Delaware women's tennis team with a 5-4 non-league victory Saturday afternoon at the Delaware Field House Courts. The Blue Hens (0-1), who were seeing their first dual action of the season after opening the year with competition at the Swarthmore Tournament last weekend, split the six singles matches with Saint Joseph's but could manage just one doubles win on the afternoon. The Hawks defeated Delaware for just the second time in 17 all-time meetings. Posting singles victories for the Blue Hens were senior Jessica Wilkes (Nazareth/Bethlehem, PA) at No. 1 singles; junior Beth Principe (Watchung Hills/Warren, NJ) at No. 3 singles, and sophomore Julia Shapiro (Baldwin/Baldwin, NY) at No. 6 singles. Senior Christine Knox (William Penn/New Castle, DE) lost a tough one at No. 2 as she dropped a 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) decision to Pielar Glodzik. Delaware got its only doubles victory at the No. 1 spot as Knox and Wilkes teamed for an 8-5 win over Lydia Thomas and Katie Bubish. The Blue Hens will return to action Tuesday, Sept. 24 at home vs. Villanova at 3 p.m. AGATE: Singles: Jessica Wilkes, D, def. Lydia Thomas, 6-1, 6-2; Pielar Glodzik, SJU, def.
