WILMINGTON, Del. - The George Washington women's tennis team took its third victory of the weekend at Delaware, 5-2, to close a set of three matches in three days on Sunday at the DuPont Country Club.
The Colonials (5-3) once again came away with the doubles point to start the match, then went on to take four singles bouts.
The pair of sophomore Maria Siopacha and freshman Melis Bayraktaroglu did not yield a game in their top flight doubles match to start the day. Sophomore Victoria Kogan and senior Allison Hansen joined forces to take a win at No. 3 and give GW a 1-0 lead.
Senior Taylor Nederlander began singles play with a straight-set victory at No. 5 before junior Marie-Louise Decamps battled from a set down to triumph at No. 2.
Bayraktaroglu then fought to a three-set win of her own in third-flight play to clinch the match for the Colonials.
Delaware grabbed a point by virtue of retirement at No. 4 before junior Kamilla Beienova rounded out GW's wins with a three-setter at No. 6.
Delaware closed the day with a three-set win at No. 1 as the Colonials came away with a 5-2 victory.
GW looks to extend its four match win streak on Friday at Georgetown.
