Opener of DePaul-Xavier Senior Day doubleheader at XS Tennis Village
CHICAGO – DePaul will double its pleasure on Saturday when the women's and men's tennis teams host Xavier at XS Tennis Village on the South Side.
It will also be a dual Senior Day with the women honoring Hristina Djokic, Marija Jovicic and Alina Kuzmenkova while the men pay tribute to Vito Tonejc, Luuk Wassenaar and Tripp Tuff.
Coach Marisa Arce's team is set for first serve at 11:15 a.m. with the men scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. start.
Xavier is the defending BIG EAST women's champion after a 4-1 victory over the Blue Demons in last year's conference title match. The Musketeers are 10-8 heading into Friday's match at Marquette and beat Butler in their only other conference assignment. They have won four of five.
This will be the final tune-up for DePaul (7-7, 4-2) before next week's BIG EAST Championships in Cayce, S.C. Leading the way will be No. 1 singles star Yuliya Kizelbasheva who is 7-4 in the dual-match season and 14-11 overall.
No. 2 singles player Jovicic has won six of her last nine matches and is 7-5 in the dual season. Freshman Eleanor Nobbs has won seven of 10 with an 8-6 dual record and a team-leading 16-10 record overall.
In doubles, Kizelbasheva and Lenka Antonijevic are 15-8 on the season and 6-4 in duals. Nobbs and Valentina Martin are 9-6 overall and 7-4 in the spring.
