DePaul’s men’s tennis team faced a challenging day at the Boss Tennis Center, where they competed in two matches on Saturday. The Blue Demons encountered an early setback against Dartmouth but demonstrated remarkable resilience by securing a decisive victory over Le Moyne later in the evening.

The morning match against Dartmouth began with a tough doubles round. Despite putting up a strong fight, DePaul couldn’t capitalize on opportunities and fell short in both No. 2 and No. 3 doubles positions. This early disadvantage set the tone for the singles matches, where Dartmouth maintained its momentum, winning five out of six sets without dropping a single one. Players like Pablo Torres Almeida and Tobias Leitner fought hard but were unable to turn the tide, leading to a comprehensive loss for the Blue Demons.

In contrast, the afternoon match against Le Moyne showcased DePaul’s ability to bounce back from adversity. The team started strongly in the doubles rounds, securing victories in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. This early success provided a much-needed boost for the Blue Demons. In the singles matches, players such as Sven Moser and Marko Milosavljevic delivered impressive performances, clinching key wins. Thomas Giles and Tobias Leitner also played crucial roles, with Giles securing a hard-fought victory that sealed the match in DePaul’s favor, marking their first win of the season.

This day of competition highlighted the Blue Demons' determination and adaptability. Despite facing significant challenges, the team showed great perseverance and teamwork, ultimately achieving a well-deserved victory. Such resilience and positive attitude will undoubtedly serve them well in future matches, including their upcoming BIG EAST Conference game against Marquette. The spirit of overcoming obstacles and turning setbacks into triumphs is a testament to the strength and character of the DePaul men’s tennis team.
