TOWSON, MD -- The University of Delaware women's tennis team stormed past Towson by a 7-0 score on Tuesday afternoon at the Towson Center Courts to remain unbeaten in the Colonial Athletic Association and match its best overall start since the 2004-05 campaign.
Senior No. 1 Susan Pollack got the Hens started with a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Towson's Evelyn Izaguirre, while freshman Courtney Fenimore eased past the Tigers' Cassandra Ng 6-1, 7-5 in second-singles action and sophomore Elena Berry notched her ninth consecutive win at No. 3 by downing Amanda Scatuorchio in a 6-0, 6-2 straight-setter.

Senior Alexa Dragonette posted a 6-2, 6-4 win over Natalie Walten at the fifth slot, and freshman Ivana Petrich completed the singles sweep with a 6-1, 6-2 rout of Katie Young.
