The University of Delaware men’s tennis team secured a major tournament victory Friday afternoon in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, knocking out higher-seeded Kennesaw State by a score of 4-2 in Conference USA quarterfinal action.
The Fightin’ Blue Hens entered the match as the fifth seed but managed to overcome the fourth-seeded Owls to earn their spot in Saturday’s semifinal round. Delaware’s season record improved to 14-9 with the victory, while Kennesaw State saw their campaign end at 15-7 despite holding a national ranking for much of the season.
The Blue Hens will now prepare for their toughest challenge yet, facing the tournament’s top seed Middle Tennessee, which holds the 48th national ranking. That semifinal matchup is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, with Delaware looking to continue their impressive postseason run in the Conference USA championships.
