CHICAGO – DePaul women's tennis remained unbeaten at home this season with a 6-1 victory over Georgetown at XS Tennis on Friday afternoon.

The Blue Demons raced by the Hoyas in doubles action, surrendering just one game between courts two and three, before the two sides engaged in a battle in singles play with three courts going to three sets.

Emily Casati and Yuliya Kizelbasheva moved to 9-2 at No. 2 doubles and earned their seventh win in a row with a 6-1 victory while Mayya Perova and Eleanor Nobbs teamed up for the first time this season and found success, blanking the Hoya tandem on court three, 6-0.

Casati won the final match of the day at No. 5 singles, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4, to win her team-best 10th-consecutive match while Carbone picked up her eighth-straight victory with a straight-set win on court three.

Kizelbasheva surrendered just three games in a dominant performance at No. 4, 6-2, 6-3.

Hannah Smith stayed the course in an up and down match at No. 1, eventually picking up her sixth victory at the top spot in 2024, 6-2, 0-6, 7-5.
