Ben Hartman and Bartosz Jozwiak lead the Blue Demons in doubles action. The tandem enters the dual with a 15-5 record and has played in the number one position in every dual except the University of Chicago. DePaul is 35-29 in doubles matches this season
Middle Tennessee State (0-6) is still looking for its first dual victory this season. The Blue Raiders began their weekend with a 4-3 loss at Northwestern on Saturday.
DePaul is in the middle of a four-match home stretch and closes out the stretch next week against Toledo on Feb. 19.
