San Andres clinches team victory
The Marquette University men's tennis team (4-4) defeated DePaul (3-2), 4-3, Sunday afternoon at Helfaer Tennis Stadium.
The win was the third-straight over the Blue Demons for Marquette, which has won 8-of-10 overall in the series.
"I was really happy with the way the guys competed today," head coach Steve Rodecap said. "It's always a great battle with DePaul and we received contributions from a number of players.
"Winning the doubles point the way we did was huge in creating momentum for singles," Rodecap added.
The Golden Eagles opened the match by claiming the doubles point in dramatic fashion. After splitting wins at No. 1 and No. 3, the deciding match came down to the tandem of Ian Brady and Stefan Dragovic. The duo held off the Blue Demons 7-6 (5) in the tiebreaker, with Brady wrapping things up at No. 2.
Straight-set wins by Dragovic and freshman Tin Krstulovic at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, pushed Marquette ahead 3-1.
Fran San Andres, the reigning BIG EAST Player of the Week, clinched the team victory with a 6-4, 6-4 win over DePaul's Tamas Zador at No. 2. DePaul closed the match by winning at the bottom two positions.
Marquette returns to action on Saturday, March 13 when the team hosts Eastern Illinois. First serve is set for 1:30 p.m. CT.
