Men’s tennis meets Chanticleers for first time
CONWAY, S.C. – DePaul men's tennis opens its spring break slate Wednesday, March 25, with a matchup against Coastal Carolina at Stevens Tennis Complex. First serve is set for 11 a.m. CT.
The Blue Demons (4-11) enter the match following a dominant 7-0 sweep over Xavier, taking the doubles point and winning five of six singles matches in straight-sets. The result marked the program's first 7-0 sweep in over a year and improved DePaul to 2-0 in BIG EAST play.
Spring Break Success
DePaul has secured at least one win in three-consecutive spring break trips, spanning North Carolina (2023), Florida (2024), and Mississippi/Alabama (2025). Last season's trip included a 6-1 win over Southern Mississippi on March 25. The Blue Demons look to continue that trend as they transition into outdoor play.
