EVANSTON/CHICAGO – DePaul women's tennis travels to Evanston to take on Northwestern for a Sunday skirmish at 4 PM CT, before welcoming Missouri to XS Tennis Village for a Tuesday tango at 12 PM. This marks the seventh time women's tennis has faced Northwestern (0-6), and the second time facing Mizzou (1-0).

Along with Stula, Yasemin Pehlivan and Roberta Sechi are also 2-2 on the road.
