NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware women’s tennis team defeated Towson 4-3, while the men’s tennis team fell to UNC Wilmington 4-0 before edging Hofstra 4-2 to complete an action packed day of Colonial Athletic Association tennis action at the Delaware Field House Tennis Courts.

The Delaware women improved to 8-10 overall and 3-3 in CAA play, while the Tigers, which had won two straight matches, fall to 9-8 and 3-3 in conference play.

Picking up singles victories for Delaware were Elena Berry (at right) , Liz Perlow, and Alexa Dragonette. Berry downed Eva Otanke 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1, while Perlow topped Jessica Woolfolk 6-2, 6-0 at No. 3. Alexa Dragonette posted her team-leading 18th singles victory by beating Kelly Parsons 6-3, 6-3 at No. 4.

In the doubles, Dragonette teamed up with Brittany Barsky for an 8-4 victory over Amanda Scatuorchio and Woolfolk at No. 2, while Perlow and Julie Schiller defeated Evelyn Izaguirre and Cassandra Ng 8-3 at No. 3 to earn the doubles point for the Hens.
