DePaul extends its winning streak to three

BOCA RATON, Fla. – DePaul men's tennis continued its impressive play as of late, taking down Brown 4-3 on Thursday evening and extending its winning streak to three matches. The Blue Demons (9-8) won the doubles point and added three straight-set victories at No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 to round out the evening.

DePaul is back above a .500 winning percentage for the first time since starting 4-3, with crucial victories in March over BIG EAST rivals Marquette and Georgetown, along with FGCU and Brown.

After unfavorable weather conditions moved the originally scheduled start time from 11:00 a.m. CT to 5:00 p.m. CT, the rain subsided, and the match began.

The Blue Demons came out swinging with a 6-4 victory at No. 3 by Laurentiu Mandocescu and Matteo Iaquinto to begin the evening. Leon Huck and Sven Moser added their tenth doubles win of the season with a decisive victory over Noah Hernandez/Chun Lam at No. 2, 7-5.

To start singles, sophomore Pablo Torres Almeida took down Sam Feldman at No. 5, 6-1, 6-4, giving him his third-straight victory.

Brown (5-12) regained some momentum after picking up victories at No. 1 and No. 6, bringing the match score to two apiece.

At the No. 2 spot, Shourya Verma bested Noah Hernandez in a convincing 6-2, 6-4 decision, giving the Blue Demons the advantage again.

Iaquinto secured his team-high tenth win of the season with a 6-3, 6-4 victory at No. 3, simultaneously clinching the victory for DePaul and pushing the Blue Demons to a 9-8 season record.
