DOYLESTOWN (PA) – The Delaware Valley University women's tennis team posted a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom victory for the first time in the three-year history of the program thanks to a thrilling, 5-4 home triumph over King's College.

The Aggies improved to 5-7 overall and 1-4 in the league while the Lady Monarchs dropped to 2-12 and 0-5. The match took place on the DelVal campus and the Doylestown Tennis Club as rain interrupted the action on a few occasions.

DelVal announced the start of the women's tennis program back in June of 2013 and intercollegiate play began with the 2014-15 season. The team has improved steadily throughout conference play and sealed win number one when Laken Henry wrapped up a 6-0, 6-3 triumph over Thea Seasock at number five singles.

Henry was also victorious in doubles play as she teamed with Allie Vaccaro at the second spot and notched an 8-6 decision over Emily Kabalka and Natalie Coffee. It was one of two doubles' win for DelVal on the day as Megan Stanley and Chloe Dennerlein blanked Seasock and Cailyn Hillier, 8-0, at third doubles.

Going into singles play with a 2-1 lead, the Aggies got their remaining wins from Henry at fifth singles, Dennerlein at sixth singles and Vaccaro at second singles.
Dennerlein improved to 10-3 in singles action thanks to a 6-0, 6-3 win over Hillier. Vaccaro evened her mark at 7-7 with a 6-2, 6-4 score over Coffee. Henry then wrapped up her win, her sixth in 13 singles' matches, to give DelVal the milestone victory.

The Aggies will look to make it two MAC Freedom wins in a row when they conclude their season at FDU-Florham on Sunday.
