DePaul took two of three doubles matches to earn the first point of the dual. George Wang and Alasdair Graetz defeated Andrei Nicoara and Branden Joost at No. 2 doubles, while Vanja Grgec and Danny Wilson posted an 8-4 win over Drew Sosebee and Dmitry Vlaskin in the third flight. The first doubles match saw Austin Doerner and Jose Moncada drop an 8-6 decision to the Razorbacks’ Blake Strode and Colin Mascall.
Doerner and Moncada used singles competition to bounce back from their doubles loss. Doerner took revenge on Mascall with a 6-3, 6-2 victory at No. 2, while Moncada defeated Gabriel Mattos, 7-6, 6-2, in the third match.
The Blue Demons added victories in the fourth, fifth and sixth singles matches. Grgec defeated Dmitry Lebedev in a 6-2, 7-6 decision at No. 4, while Graetz took Nicoara in three sets at No. 5 with a score of 6-0, 4-6, 6-3. Jack Komar gave DePaul a point at No. 6, defeating Vlaskin in a 6-7, 6-3, 6-2 match.
DePaul’s only lost point came in the top singles flight as Wang fell to Strode; 7-6, 6-4.
