The DePaul women's tennis team will host Xavier in their BIG EAST regular season finale on April 4 at 3:30 p.m. CT at XS Tennis Village. With a current record of 6-0 in conference play, DePaul aims to finish undefeated for the first time in a decade. Historically, the Blue Demons have struggled against the Musketeers, losing their last eight matchups, including the last two seasons where they had just one conference loss. Despite this, DePaul hopes to turn the tide against a Xavier team that has a poor showing this year compared to their title-winning seasons.

By the Numbers
  • DePaul is 6-0 in BIG EAST play this season.
  • Xavier is currently 2-5 in away matches and has won six consecutive BIG EAST championships.
Yes, But

Despite DePaul's strong start to the season, their historical performance against Xavier raises concerns. The team struggles with momentum as they face a Musketeers squad that has consistently outperformed them in critical matches.

State of Play
  • DePaul recently returned from a challenging road trip in Florida, losing matches against Florida International and Florida Atlantic.
  • Xavier enters the match on a nine-match win streak in conference play.
What's Next

Following their matchup against Xavier, DePaul women's tennis will conclude their season with a match against Notre Dame on April 12 in South Bend.

Bottom Line

The upcoming match is crucial for DePaul to break their losing streak against Xavier while solidifying their credibility as a strong contender in the BIG EAST. A win would not only cap an undefeated conference season but could also build momentum heading into the postseason.
