April 2, 2004 Riddle Wins Hens' Lone Match at No. 6 Singles HARRISONBURG, VA -- The University of Delaware women's tennis squad opened its Colonial Athletic Association season with a 6-1 loss to host James Madison Friday afternoon at the Harrison Park Indoor Racquet Club. The Blue Hens, who were playing their first match since a 9-0 win over St. Leo in Florida March 26, fell to 5-7 (0-1 CAA). Delaware will take on CAA foe UNC Wilmington Saturday afternoon at James Madison University. Friday's match was moved inside due to rain. The Delaware men were also scheduled to face James Madison Friday afternoon but that match was postponed due to the weather. The UD men will take on James Madison and Radford Saturday afternoon. Delaware's Stefanie Riddle picked up the only Blue Hen victory Friday as she downed Mary Napier of James Madison by a score of 2-6, 6-2, 11-9 at the No. 6 singles spot.
