DePaul heads into Saturday’s competition after splitting a pair of road duals last weekend. The Blue Demons defeated Toledo, 4-3, on Saturday before they fell, 6-1, to Western Michigan on Sunday. Kentucky opened its season last Sunday with a 5-1 victory over Eastern Kentucky and a 6-1 win over Toledo.
Blue Demon juniors Jose Moncada and Austin Doerner enter the weekend with a 2-2 record at No. 1 doubles. The DePaul pair is currently ranked No. 15 in the ITA Midwest Region doubles poll. Moncada holds a regional singles ranking of No. 21 and is 3-1 this season when playing at No. 2 singles.
Through four duals, DePaul’s freshman class has made an impressive contribution. Ben Hartman boasts a perfect 4-0 record at No. 6 singles, while Bartosz Jozwiak carries a 3-1 record at No. 5 singles.
DePaul and Kentucky last met on January 30, 2005 in Lexington. The Wildcats defeated the Blue Demons, 6-1.
