Blue Demons win five of six singles matches at XS Tennis on the South Side
CHICAGO – It was a strong comeback for coach Matt Brothers and his men's tennis team Sunday at XS Tennis Village.
After Marquette claimed the doubles point for an early 1-0, the Blue Demons (8-11) came storming back with three consecutive singles wins sparking a 5-2 BIG EAST victory over their longtime rival.
The rally began with Matteo Iaquinto taking care of Will Tennison 6-0, 6-2 at No. 5 singles.
Tripp Tuff gave the home team its first lead which would never be relinquished after a 6-2, 6-2 win over Pablo Dale at No. 6 singles.
Luuk Wassenaar brought the "Band of Brothers" to the brink of victory with a 7-5, 6-1 decision over Ian Brady at No. 4.
Marquette (5-13) averted the clincher by winning at No. 2 singles.
But reigning BIG EAST Player of the Year Vito Tonejc provided the winning point by taking down the Golden Eagles' No. 1 singles player Fran San Andres 3-6, 6-0, 6-1.
Tonejc is now 16-2 in the dual-match season and 24-8 overall as DePaul improved to 3-0 in BIG EAST matches.
Leon Huck added on at No. 3 singles with a 6-4, 5-7, 10-3 win over Rami Scheetz.
The Blue Demons return to XS Tennis next Sunday for a BIG EAST match against Butler.
