CHICAGO – Coach Matt Brothers and his team have an ambitious schedule this weekend with three consecutive matches in the city.
DePaul (3-2) starts out with a home match Friday night against the NAIA Coaches Poll's No. 3-ranked team nationally, Cardinal Stritch from Milwaukee.
Less than 24 hours later, the Blue Demons return to Lakeshore Sport & Fitness to face a Northern Illinois team that opened the season riding a 10-match winning streak.
On Sunday, Brothers has booked a neutral-court match against Drake at the XS Tennis facility on the South Side.
Leading the team into the rugged weekend are Vito Tonejc an Tripp Tuff who are both 4-1 in singles play and have each won three in a row. Vito's older brother Fran is 3-2 while Boris Spanjaard, Tamas Zador and Luuk Wassenaar have all started out 2-1.
