DePaul blanked 4-0 by Florida Atlantic on Saturday in Boca Raton
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Coach Matt Brothers and his Blue Demons finished off their Florida road swing with a tough 4-0 loss to Florida Atlantic.
DePaul dropped three singles matches while three went unfinished Saturday at the FAU Tennis Complex.
The Blue Demons did come close to snatching the doubles point. Luuk Wassenaar and Tripp Tuff opened up with a 6-2 setback to their Owls counterpart at No. 2 but Vito and Fran Tonejc evened it up with a 6-3 doubles win.
The first team point of the match came down to a showdown of No. 1 doubles tandems with Boris Spanjaard and Chris Casati falling just short at 7-5. That gave FAU an early 1-0 lead in the match.
DePaul will face its first BIG EAST opponent on Friday when the men's tennis team travels to Creighton.
