INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The DePaul women's tennis team won its fourth consecutive match with a 7-0 sweep over Butler on Sunday. The Blue Demons improve to 4-1 on the young season while all four of its victories have come with a 7-0 score.
Just like in Saturday's 7-0 win, the Blue Demons started out aggressive in doubles and overpowered the Bulldogs. Kelsey Lawson and Carolin Neumann were the first off the courts with their 8-1 win on the third court. Rebeca Mitrea and Patricia Fargas won their match, 8-3 in the second spot. The Blue Demons complete the doubles sweep when Gia McKnight and Jasmin Kling won their match, 8-4.
With all the momentum the Blue Demons continued to dominate on the singles courts. DePaul won all six matches in straight sets while McKnight, Mitrea and Neumann all won at least one of their sets 6-0.
Mitrea won her ninth straight with her 6-0, 6-1 win over Cam Thompson on the fifth court.
Kling clinched DePaul victory and improved to 4-3 on the year with her 6-3, 6-2 win over Caroline Hedrick in the top spot.
