CHICAGO - The No. 68 DePaul men's tennis team improved to 3-0 on the season with its hard-fought, 5-2 win over Toledo on Friday at Lakeshore Sport and Fitness.
"The guys really competed well, and it was a good win for us tonight," head coach Matt Brothers said after his team's third straight win.
DePaul started the match by winning the doubles point. The Blue Demons dominated the first two courts, winning both, 8-2.
Moving into singles action, Mathias Hambach continued his powerful play and improved to 3-0 during the dual season. Playing in the fourth position, Hambach dominated Bryant Dudzik 6-2, 6-0 for DePaul's second point.
