DePaul carried its momentum into singles action with six straight-set wins. Mitrea pushed her singles winning streak to six matches with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Nicole Janek.
Against Chicago State, the Blue Demons continued to hit their stride sweeping one doubles match while three singles matches were won with 6-0, 6-0 scores.
