HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.—The University of Hartford women's and men's tennis teams fell on the road at Hofstra Friday. The women dropped a 6-1 decision to the Pride in the Hawks' first action in more than three weeks. Meanwhile, the Hawk men fell, 7-0, in their second match in as many days.
 
On the women's side, graduate student Abby Liu extended her winning streak at the No. 1 singles spot to four matches. Liu picked up a straight-set victory, 6-2, 6-2, over Hofstra's top player, Elena Ivanova. Liu is now 4-1 in singles play this Spring. Liu picked up the only win for the Hawk women.
 
On the men's side, the Hawks picked up a win in the No. 3 doubles match. Junior Bogdan Nedelcu and sophomore Alex Holdstein teamed up to earn an 8-4 win over the Pride's Jason Sinkoff and Pedro Gimenez. Hofstra was able to pick up the  doubles point with two close victories, 9-7 in the top doubles match and 9-8 (2) in the No. 2 tandem match.
 
A pair of Hawk men, juniors Josh Isaacson and Edgardo Ureta, pushed their singles matches to a tiebreaking third set. Playing from the No. 3 slot, Isaacson won the first set in a tiebreak, 7-6 (4). However, his opponent, Hofstra's Matt Gemmell, earned a 6-3 decision in the second set before outlasting Isaacson, 12-10, in the superbreak. In the No. 6 singles match, Ureta dropped the first set to Gimenez, but stormed back with a 6-4 win in the second set to tie the match. Gimenez pulled out the match win with a 10-7 decision in the superbreak.
