Published 4:09 pm Tuesday, March 15, 2016
A streaking Delaware squad swept the doubles point and rolled to a 7-0 win over the visiting Longwood University women’s tennis team Saturday evening, derailing the Lancers’ two-match win streak in the bookend to their four-match spring break road trip.
Led by the 1-2 duo of Amanda Studnicki and Denny LaMachia, the Blue Hens (7-2) won for the seventh time in their past eight matches and improved to 5-0 on their home court. Studnicki and LaMachia survived three-set singles bouts against Longwood ace Fallon Burger and No. 2 Anna Pelak to clinch the win before cruising to the sweep with straight-sets victories at Nos. 5 and 6.
With the loss, Longwood (6-7) concludes its spring break trip to the Northeast at 2-2, rebounding from a 6-1 loss at Rutgers Wednesday to down Coppin State 7-0 Friday and Rider 6-1 Saturday morning.
Longwood will host Winthrop on Friday.
