Blue Demons claim their fourth win in a row

MUFREESBORO, Tenn. – DePaul women's tennis kept the good times rolling on Wednesday afternoon with a decisive 4-1 win over Middle Tennessee State to extend its win-streak to four matches while claiming eight victories in the last nine outings. The Blue Demons won the doubles point followed by victories at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 to take down the Blue Raiders in the final non-conference match of the 2024 dual season.

DePaul (13-6) jumped out to a 1-0 advantage behind strong performances at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles. Greta Carbone and Hannah Smith improved to 8-3 at the top spot, making quick work of MTSU's Sana Garakani/Alessia Truden, 6-1. The tandem of Emily Casati and Yuliya Kizelbasheva won their ninth-straight doubles match with a decisive 6-2 victory of the Blue Raiders' Lena Peyer and Eloise Swarbrick.

Kizelbasheva carried over the momentum into singles action, taking down Alesia Truden (MTSU), 6-3, 6-4 at No. 4 to claim her fourth-consecutive victory.

At No. 3, Carbone returned to her winning ways, picking up the first set tiebreaker 7-6 and finishing off Peyer (MTSU) 6-4 in the second set to earn her eighth win in her last nine matches and put the Blue Demons in front 3-0.

Middle Tennessee (8-9) added a tally to the board with a win at No. 6. Freshman Sasha Stula overcame a first-set loss with a 6-1 score in the second to extend the match, but ultimately fell 7-5 in the decider to Swarbick.

Smith put the icing on the cake for the Blue Demons, clinching at No. 1, roaring back from the sour end of a first-set tiebreak to dominate 6-3, 6-2 in sets two and three.

The remaining matches on court two (Eleanor Nobbs) and court five (Emily Casati) went unfinished.
